(JavaScript) HTTP Digest-MD5 Authentication Testing with httpbin.org

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.)

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

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

var http = new CkHttp();

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=\"something\"");

var strResponse = http.QuickGetStr("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd");
if (http.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log(strResponse);

var status = http.LastStatus;
console.log("response status code = " + status);

// The output of this program is:
// 
// 	{ 
// 	  "authenticated": true, 
// 	  "user": "user"
// 	} 
// 
// 	response status code = 200
