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.

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const rest = try chilkat.Rest.init();
    defer rest.deinit();
    const b_tls = true;
    const b_auto_reconnect = true;
    rest.connect("example.com", 443, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // 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.
    const ss_username = try chilkat.SecureString.init();
    defer ss_username.deinit();
    ss_username.append("myUsername") catch {};
    const ss_password = try chilkat.SecureString.init();
    defer ss_password.deinit();
    ss_password.append("myPassword") catch {};

    rest.setAuthBasicSecure(ss_username, ss_password) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    const response_text = rest.fullRequestNoBody(alloc, "GET", "/api/protected") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try rest.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{response_text});
