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.) B4X

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

Dim http As ChilkatHttp
http.Initialize("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=" & Chr(34) & "something" & Chr(34))

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


Log(strResponse)

Dim status As Int = http.LastStatus
Log("response status code = " & status)


'  The output of this program is:
'

'  	  "user": "user"

'  	response status code = 200
