Http Digest Authentication

Demonstrates the DigestAuth property to do HTTP Digest Authentication. B4X

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

Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("http")

'  To use HTTP Digest Authentication:
http.Login = "myLogin"
http.Password = "myPassword"
http.DigestAuth = True

'  If you would like to see the HTTP session log to see how 
'  HTTP digest authentication worked.
http.SessionLogFilename = "c:/temp/qa_output/sessionLog.txt"

'  Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
'  (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)
Dim jsonResponse As String = http.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/myLogin/myPassword")
If http.LastMethodSuccess = False Then
    Log(http.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


Log("Response status code: " & http.LastStatus)

Log(jsonResponse)

'  Output:

'  Response status code: 200
'  {
'    "authenticated": true, 
'    "user": "myLogin"
'  }
