Demonstrates the DigestAuth property to do HTTP Digest Authentication. Delphi ActiveX

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
    Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Chilkat_TLB;

...

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
http: TChilkatHttp;
jsonResponse: WideString;

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

http := TChilkatHttp.Create(Self);

// To use HTTP Digest Authentication:
http.Login := 'myLogin';
http.Password := 'myPassword';
http.DigestAuth := 1;

// 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.)
jsonResponse := http.QuickGetStr('https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/myLogin/myPassword');
if (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(http.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

Memo1.Lines.Add('Response status code: ' + IntToStr(http.LastStatus));

Memo1.Lines.Add(jsonResponse);

// Output:

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