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.

require 'chilkat'

success = false

rest = Chilkat::CkRest.new()
bTls = true
bAutoReconnect = true
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  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::CkSecureString.new()
ssUsername.Append("myUsername")
ssPassword = Chilkat::CkSecureString.new()
ssPassword.Append("myPassword")

success = rest.SetAuthBasicSecure(ssUsername,ssPassword)
if (success == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

responseText = rest.fullRequestNoBody("GET","/api/protected")
if (rest.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print rest.lastErrorText() + "\n";
