(Node.js) HTTP Basic Auth with Secure Strings

Demonstrates how to do HTTP basic authentication using secure strings.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at

Chilkat npm packages for Node.js

Chilkat npm packages for Electron

on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
    var chilkat = require('chilkat_node10_win32'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('chilkat_node10_arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'x86') {
        var chilkat = require('chilkat_node10_linux32');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('chilkat_node10_linux64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
    var chilkat = require('chilkat_node10_macosx');
}

function chilkatExample() {

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

    var success;

    //  Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
    //  that contains this:

    //  {
    //    "http_login": "mCrOmA7mBA7Au9RuJGb9hw==",
    //    "http_password": "jJtiI9TgErTTpqBz9JtHBw=="
    //  }

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/http.json");

    var crypt = new chilkat.Crypt2();

    //  These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
    crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes";
    crypt.CipherMode = "cbc";
    crypt.KeyLength = 128;
    crypt.SetEncodedKey("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
    crypt.SetEncodedIV("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
    crypt.EncodingMode = "base64";

    var ssLogin = new chilkat.SecureString();
    var ssPassword = new chilkat.SecureString();

    //  Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
    //  a randomly generated session key.)
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.StringOf("http_login"),ssLogin);
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.StringOf("http_password"),ssPassword);

    var http = new chilkat.Http();

    //  Cause the "Authorization: Basic ..." header to be added to HTTP requests
    //  by setting the Login and Password properties.  However, instead of setting the password property
    //  directly, set it via the SetPassword method using the secure string.
    http.Login = ssLogin.Access();
    http.SetPassword(ssPassword);

    //  Also indicate that Basic authentication is to be used..
    http.BasicAuth = true;

    //  Do an HTTP GET w/ Basic authentication.
    //  REMEMBER: Always use TLS with Basic authentication.  Otherwise your credentials are exposed for the world to see..

    var responseStr = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html");

    //  Show the request header we sent in the QuickGetStr:
    console.log(http.LastHeader);

    //  The LastHeader looks something like this:

    //  GET /helloWorld.html HTTP/1.1
    //  Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
    //  Connection: keep-alive
    //  User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
    //  Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
    //  Authorization: Basic bXlIdHRwTG9naW46bXlIdHRwUGFzc3dvcmQ=
    //  Accept-Encoding: gzip
    //  Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
