(Xojo Plugin) 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.

Dim http As New 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"""

Dim strResponse As String
strResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd")
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog(strResponse)

Dim status As Int32
status = http.LastStatus
System.DebugLog("response status code = " + Str(status))

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