Configure HTTP Basic Authentication with SecureString

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates Rest.SetAuthBasicSecure, which configures HTTP Basic authentication using SecureString objects instead of plaintext strings.

    success := false

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()
    bTls := true
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    //  SetAuthBasicSecure configures HTTP Basic authentication using SecureString objects, which keep
    //  the credentials encrypted in memory.
    //  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
    //  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
    ssUsername := chilkat.NewSecureString()
    ssUsername.Append("myUsername")
    ssPassword := chilkat.NewSecureString()
    ssPassword.Append("myPassword")

    success = rest.SetAuthBasicSecure(ssUsername,ssPassword)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        ssUsername.DisposeSecureString()
        ssPassword.DisposeSecureString()
        return
    }

    responseText := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/protected")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        rest.DisposeRest()
        ssUsername.DisposeSecureString()
