Crate http_auth[−][src]

Expand description

HTTP authentication. Currently meant for clients; to be extended for servers.

As described in the following documents and specifications:

MDN documentation.
RFC 7235: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Authentication.
RFC 7617: The ‘Basic’ HTTP Authentication Scheme
RFC 7616: HTTP Digest Access Authentication

This framework is primarily used with HTTP, as suggested by the name. It is also used by some other protocols such as RTSP.

Quick example:

use std::convert::TryFrom;
let WWW_AUTHENTICATE = "UnsupportedSchemeA, Basic realm=\"foo\", UnsupportedSchemeB";
let mut pw_client = http_auth::PasswordClient::try_from(WWW_AUTHENTICATE).unwrap();
assert!(matches!(pw_client, http_auth::PasswordClient::Basic(_)));
let response = pw_client.respond(&http_auth::PasswordParams {
    username: "Aladdin",
    password: "open sesame",
    uri: "/",
    method: "GET",
    body: Some(&[]),
}).unwrap();
assert_eq!(response, "Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==");
