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.) Perl

use chilkat();

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

$http = chilkat::CkHttp->new();

$http->put_Login("user");
$http->put_Password("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\"");

$strResponse = $http->quickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd");
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print $strResponse . "\r\n";

$status = $http->get_LastStatus();
print "response status code = " . $status . "\r\n";

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