REST Basic Auth with Secure Strings

Demonstrates how to do REST Basic authentication using secure strings.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Go

    success := false

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

    // Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
    // that contains this:

    // {
    //   "http_login": "mCrOmA7mBA7Au9RuJGb9hw==",
    //   "http_password": "jJtiI9TgErTTpqBz9JtHBw=="
    // }

    json := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    json.LoadFile("qa_data/passwords/http.json")

    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()

    // These are the encryption settings we previously used to encrypt the credentials within the JSON config file.
    crypt.SetCryptAlgorithm("aes")
    crypt.SetCipherMode("cbc")
    crypt.SetKeyLength(128)
    crypt.SetEncodedKey("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex")
    crypt.SetEncodedIV("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex")
    crypt.SetEncodingMode("base64")

    ssLogin := chilkat.NewSecureString()
    ssPassword := chilkat.NewSecureString()

    // Decrypt to the secure string.  (the strings will still held in memory encrypted, but are now encrypted using
    // a randomly generated session key.)
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(*json.StringOf("http_login"),ssLogin)
    crypt.DecryptSecureENC(*json.StringOf("http_password"),ssPassword)

    rest := chilkat.NewRest()

    // Connect to a REST server.
    bTls := true
    port := 443
    bAutoReconnect := true
    success = rest.Connect("chilkatsoft.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)

    // Cause the "Authorization: Basic ..." header to be added to HTTP requests
    rest.SetAuthBasicSecure(ssLogin,ssPassword)

    responseJson := rest.FullRequestNoBody("GET","/helloWorld.html")
    if rest.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(rest.LastErrorText())
        json.DisposeJsonObject()
        crypt.DisposeCrypt2()
        ssLogin.DisposeSecureString()
        ssPassword.DisposeSecureString()
        rest.DisposeRest()
        return
    }

    // Show the LastRequestHeader that was sent.
    fmt.Println(rest.LastRequestHeader())

    // The LastRequestHeader looks like this:

    // Host: chilkatsoft.com
    // Authorization: Basic bXlIdHRwTG9naW46bXlIdHRwUGFzc3dvcmQ=

    json.DisposeJsonObject()
    crypt.DisposeCrypt2()
    ssLogin.DisposeSecureString()
    ssPassword.DisposeSecureString()
    rest.DisposeRest()
