(Visual Basic 6.0) HTTP Basic Auth with Secure StringsDemonstrates how to do HTTP basic authentication using secure strings. This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.
' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked. ' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code. Dim success As Long ' Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file ' that contains this: ' { ' "http_login": "mCrOmA7mBA7Au9RuJGb9hw==", ' "http_password": "jJtiI9TgErTTpqBz9JtHBw==" ' } Dim json As New ChilkatJsonObject success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/http.json") Dim crypt As New ChilkatCrypt2 ' 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" Dim ssLogin As New ChilkatSecureString Dim ssPassword As New ChilkatSecureString ' Decrypt to the secure string. (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using ' a randomly generated session key.) success = crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.StringOf("http_login"),ssLogin) success = crypt.DecryptSecureENC(json.StringOf("http_password"),ssPassword) Dim http As New ChilkatHttp ' 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() success = http.SetPassword(ssPassword) ' Also indicate that Basic authentication is to be used.. http.BasicAuth = 1 ' Do an HTTP GET w/ Basic authentication.
