Member Functions

authenticate

void authenticate(
    HTTPRequest & request,
    const HTTPResponse & response
);

Parses WWW-Authenticate header of the HTTPResponse, initializes internal state, and adds authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

authenticate

void authenticate(
    HTTPRequest & request,
    const HTTPAuthenticationParams & responseAuthParams
);

Initializes internal state according to information from the HTTPAuthenticationParams of the response, and adds authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

Throws InvalidArgumentException if HTTPAuthenticationParams is invalid or some required parameter is missing. Throws NotImplementedException in case of unsupported digest algorithm or quality of protection method.

clear

void clear();

Clears both username and password.

createNonce static

static std::string createNonce();

Creates a random nonce string.

empty inline

bool empty() const;

Returns true if both username and password are empty, otherwise false.

getPassword inline

const std::string & getPassword() const;

Returns the password.

getUsername inline

const std::string & getUsername() const;

Returns the username.

proxyAuthenticate

void proxyAuthenticate(
    HTTPRequest & request,
    const HTTPResponse & response
);

Parses Proxy-Authenticate header of the HTTPResponse, initializes internal state, and adds proxy authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

proxyAuthenticate

void proxyAuthenticate(
    HTTPRequest & request,
    const HTTPAuthenticationParams & responseAuthParams
);

Initializes internal state according to information from the HTTPAuthenticationParams of the response, and adds proxy authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

Throws InvalidArgumentException if HTTPAuthenticationParams is invalid or some required parameter is missing. Throws NotImplementedException in case of unsupported digest algorithm or quality of protection method.

reset

void reset();

Resets the HTTPDigestCredentials object to a clean state. Does not clear username and password.

setPassword

void setPassword(
    const std::string & password
);

Sets the password.

setUsername

void setUsername(
    const std::string & username
);

Sets the username.

updateAuthInfo

void updateAuthInfo(
    HTTPRequest & request
);

Updates internal state and adds authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

updateProxyAuthInfo

void updateProxyAuthInfo(
    HTTPRequest & request
);

Updates internal state and adds proxy authentication information to the given HTTPRequest.

verifyAuthInfo

bool verifyAuthInfo(
    const HTTPRequest & request
) const;

Verifies the digest authentication information in the given HTTPRequest by recomputing the response and comparing it with what's in the request.

Note: This method creates a HTTPAuthenticationParams object from the request and calls verifyAuthParams() with request and params.

verifyAuthParams

bool verifyAuthParams(
    const HTTPRequest & request,
    const HTTPAuthenticationParams & params
) const;

Verifies the digest authentication information in the given HTTPRequest and HTTPAuthenticationParams by recomputing the response and comparing it with what's in the request.
