Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

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

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// 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) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Response status code: ' . $http->LastStatus . "\n";

print $jsonResponse . "\n";

// Output:

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