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.) React Native

import { Http } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const http = new 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"');

  let strResponse: string;
  try {
    strResponse = await http.quickGetStrAsync('https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd');
  } catch {
    console.log(http.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  console.log(strResponse);

  const status = http.lastStatus;
  console.log(`response status code = ${status}`);

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