Re: HTTP AUTHENTICATE - how to know if the authentification worked

Hi Paul, Start here and see the linked RFCs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication I probably have some old code somewhere that implemented this, I'll see if I can dig it up and send it to you. John DeSoi, Ph.D. > On Sep 29, 2019, at 11:42 AM, Paul Lovejoy wrote: > >

Hi John, Thanks for your input. I wouldn’t know where to begin creating the authentication digest myself. Can you point me somewhere? Cheers, Paul > Le 27 sept. 2019 à 20:27, John DeSoi via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> a > écrit : > > Using a HTTP tracing tool where you could see all of

Re: HTTP AUTHENTICATE - how to know if the authentification worked

are you sure it is HTTP Get that is throwing the error? the command is not supposed to touch the body unless you pass OBJECT and the content type is application/json or you pass PICTURE and the content type is image/*, or you pass TEXT and the content type is text/* https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17

Re: HTTP AUTHENTICATE - how to know if the authentification worked

Using a HTTP tracing tool where you could see all of the request/response values with headers might provide useful clues. My other idea would be to drop HTTP AUTHENTICATE and just build the authentication digest headers yourself. John DeSoi, Ph.D. > On Sep 27, 2019, at 12:47 PM, Paul Lovejoy

Re: HTTP AUTHENTICATE - how to know if the authentification worked

Hi John, Thanks for your feedback. I’m passing “2” in the extra parameter. The following HTTP get() is returning an error -9935, badly formed XML. The HTTP get is supposed to be retrieving XML, actually. So the error is not totally off base. But I would prefer to know that authentification fail

HTTP AUTHENTICATE - how to know if the authentification worked

Hi everyone, I’m using HTTP AUTHENTICATE to authenticate connections to a web server. The call to authenticate is immediately followed by a HTTP get(). The HTTP get occasionally fails and I’ve been able to trace this to a failed HTTP AUTHENTICATE, which appears to be an error from the website.
