HTTP Digest-MD5 Authentication Testing with httpbin.org

See more HTTP Examples

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.) Xbase++

//  This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.

//  Add a cookie to satisfy httpbin.org's desire for cookies..
//  Otherwise, it will fail the perfectly valid Digest-MD5 authentication.
oHttp:SetRequestHeader("Cookie", 'something="something"')
