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.) PHP ActiveX

<?php

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

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

$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->SetRequestHeader('Cookie','something=\'something\'');

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

print $strResponse . "\n";

$status = $http->LastStatus;
print 'response status code = ' . $status . "\n";

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