Re^2: LWP and Digest Authentication by BrowserUk (Patriarch) on Feb 11, 2009 at 02:43 UTC
What exactly do you think those links are meant to tell me? The grep references digest, but tells me nothing I do not already know. The second is a test script testing authentication... But, as I pointed out above, it hardcodes the realm rather than deriving it from the 401 header. No help there then. The third is a test script checking an MD5 content header? I don't know who you are (though I could probably take a good guess), but quite what you thought the point of your contribution was, I cannot fathom from your terse response. Perhaps that's why your post was so terse; you didn't know what you were trying to say? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

They were suggestions for you to look at, sorry. I don't see where it hardcodes the realm. I get `1..2 test:http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Digest/: => foo/bar test:http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Digest/: => / test:http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Digest/: => guest/ test:http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Digest/: => guest/guest ok 1 ok 2` [download] test doesn't appear anywhere in the code and the docs for get_basic_credentials say The arguments passed in is the $realm provided by the server, the $uri requested and a boolean flag to indicate if this is authentication against a proxy server. so isn't this what you want?
