(PowerShell) HTTP Digest-MD5 Authentication Testing with httpbin.org

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.)

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

$http = New-Object 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 -eq $false) {
    $($http.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$($strResponse)

$status = $http.LastStatus
$("response status code = " + $status)

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