(CkPython) HTTPS Windows Integrated Authentication

This example pertains to running on the Windows operating system only.

It provides guidance on how to send HTTP requests using the current logged-on Windows user credentials. This is where NTLM/Negotiate authentication is used, but the login/password credentials are not explicitly provided by the application, but are implicitly provided based on the Windows logged-on user (i.e. the Windows account for the running process).

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

http = chilkat.CkHttp()

# Chilkat implements the NTLM protocol directly, which is how it can be used on non-Windows systems.
# However, Chilkat can also optionally use Microsoft's SSPI (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/secauthn/ssp-packages-provided-by-microsoft) 
# to allow for Windows Integrated Authentication.

# Setting the HTTP Login equal to the empty string, and the Password equal to the keyword "default"
# will cause Chilkat to use the Microsoft SSPI w/ integrated authentication.
http.put_Login("")
http.put_Password("default")

# We can also explicitly indicate that NTLM or Negotiate authentication is to be used:
http.put_NegotiateAuth(True)

# Set various properties unrelated to authentication..
# Automatically follow redirects.
http.put_FollowRedirects(True)
# Give verbose logging in the LastErrorText (in case there are errors)
http.put_VerboseLogging(True)
# Optionally log the exact session to a file (for debugging)
http.put_SessionLogFilename("c:/someDir/session.txt")
# Perhaps you wish to be seen as a browser on Mac OS X..
http.put_UserAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB) AppleWebKit/534.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.500.0 Safari/534.6")

# Note: If the result of authentication is to set Cookies that are used in subsequent requests,
# then make sure Chilkat both saves and sends cookies: 
http.put_SaveCookies(True)
http.put_SendCookies(True)
http.put_CookieDir("memory")

# Send a GET request to a URL, using Windows Integrated Authentication...
responseStr = http.quickGetStr("https://somewhere.net/api/user")
if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() != True):
    print(http.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("response status code = " + str(http.get_LastStatus()))
print("response header:")
print(http.lastHeader())
print("----")
