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.) Lianja

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

loHttp = createobject("CkHttp")

loHttp.Login = "user"
loHttp.Password = "passwd"

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

lcStrResponse = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd")
if (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    release loHttp
    return
endif

? lcStrResponse

lnStatus = loHttp.LastStatus
? "response status code = " + str(lnStatus)

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