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.) Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

http.login = "user"
http.password = "passwd"

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

local strResponse = http:quick_get_str("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(strResponse)

local status = http.last_status
print("response status code = " .. status)

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