Communicate with servers that implement digest auth.
-
Add the dependency to your
shard.yml
:dependencies: digest-auth: github: spider-gazelle/digest-auth
-
Run
shards install
require "http/client"
require "digest-auth"
# New client per-connection, this keeps track of nonce count
digest_auth = DigestAuth.new
uri = URI.parse "http://foo.com/posts?id=30&limit=5"
# if you expect digest auth use a head request to get the challenge header
client = HTTP::Client.new uri
response = client.head uri.full_path
response.status_code # => 401
challenge = response.headers["WWW-Authenticate"]
uri.user = "username"
uri.password = "password"
# Generate the auth header, need to indicate if talking to IIS
auth_header = digest_auth.auth_header(uri, challenge, "get", iis: false)
# Make the request
response = client.get uri.full_path, HTTP::Headers{ "Authorization" => auth_header }
response.status_code # => 200
# Make a second request while the connection is still open
uri.path = "/posts/30"
auth_header = digest_auth.auth_header(uri, challenge, "post", iis: false)
response = client.post uri.full_path, HTTP::Headers{ "Authorization" => auth_header }, body: "hello!"
response.status_code # => 201
or using .before_request
require "http/client"
require "digest-auth"
digest_auth = DigestAuth.new
uri = URI.parse "http://foo.com/"
client = HTTP::Client.new uri
response = client.head uri.full_path
response.status_code # => 401
challenge = response.headers["WWW-Authenticate"]
uri.user = "username"
uri.password = "password"
client.before_request do |request|
req_path = URI.parse request.resource
uri.path = req_path.path
uri.query = req_path.query
auth_header = digest_auth.auth_header(uri, challenge, request.method, iis: false)
request.headers["Authorization"] = auth_header
end
client.get "/"
client.post "/some_path", body: "hello!"
