LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL lcJsonResponse

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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* To use HTTP Digest Authentication:
loHttp.Login = "myLogin"
loHttp.Password = "myPassword"
loHttp.DigestAuth = 1

* If you would like to see the HTTP session log to see how 
* HTTP digest authentication worked.
loHttp.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.)
lcJsonResponse = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/myLogin/myPassword")
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Response status code: " + STR(loHttp.LastStatus)

? lcJsonResponse

* Output:

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