(Unicode C++) HTTP Digest-MD5 Authentication Testing with httpbin.org

The URL https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd is password protected with user="user" and password="passwd". It requires Digest-MD5 authentication. Chilkat will automatically handle Digest-MD5 authentication as required by the server response. In this case, however, the server will fail the authentication unless a Cookie is included in the request. The cookie can have any name and any value. (Yes, this is ridiculous, and many developers have probably spent countless hours assuming their Digest-MD5 implementations were incorrect.)

    CkHttpW http;

    http.put_Login(L"user");
    http.put_Password(L"passwd");

    // Add a cookie to satisfy httpbin.org's desire for cookies..
    // Otherwise, it will fail the perfectly valid Digest-MD5 authentication.
    http.SetRequestHeader(L"Cookie",L"something=\"something\"");

    const wchar_t *strResponse = http.quickGetStr(L"https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd");
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    wprintf(L"%s\n",strResponse);

    int status = http.get_LastStatus();
    wprintf(L"response status code = %d\n",status);

    // The output of this program is:
    // 
    // 	{ 
    // 	  "authenticated": true, 
    // 	  "user": "user"
    // 	} 
    // 
    // 	response status code = 200
