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.) Ruby

require '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() == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print strResponse + "\n";

status = http.get_LastStatus()
print "response status code = " + status.to_s() + "\n";

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