HTTP Digest-MD5 Authentication Testing with httpbin.org

See more HTTP Examples

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.) Chilkat2 Java

        Http http = new Http();

        http.setLogin("user");
        http.setPassword("passwd");

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

        String strResponse;
        try {
            strResponse = http.quickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd");

            System.out.println(e.getLastErrorText());

        System.out.println(strResponse);

        int status = http.getLastStatus();
        System.out.println("response status code = " + status);
