Perform request with a digest authentication, a simple node http digest client
npm install request-digestPerform a client request (http) with a digest authentication, a simple node http digest client.
Only tested against one server and spec is not followed fully. It works for me
and for what I am doing. I often try to improve this npm and I answer to your pull-request and issue ASAP in order to improve your experience with this package.
Pay attention, it only works with MD5 algorithm currently.
javascript
var digestRequest = require('request-digest')('username', 'password');
digestRequest.request({
host: 'http://test.com',
path: '/api/v1/test.json',
port: 80,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Custom-Header': 'OneValue',
'Other-Custom-Header': 'OtherValue'
}
}, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) {
throw error;
} console.log(body);
});
`Usage (promise, only >= 1.0.0)
$3
javascript
var digestRequest = require('request-digest')('username', 'password');
digestRequest.requestAsync({
host: 'http://test.com',
path: '/api/v1/test.json',
port: 80,
method: 'GET',
excludePort: false,
headers: {
'Custom-Header': 'OneValue',
'Other-Custom-Header': 'OtherValue'
}
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.body);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
});
`The digest client will make one request to the server, authentication response
is calculated and then the request is made again. Hopefully you will then
be authorized.
If you don't want to specify or to use a specific port. Default port value is 80 but if you set the option
to true it won't add a port to your URL.$3
Following is a POST with JSON body example.
`javascript
var digestRequest = require('request-digest')('username', 'password');
digestRequest.requestAsync({
host: 'http://test.com',
path: '/api/v1/test',
port: 80,
method: 'POST',
json: true,
body: {
myData: 'test'
},
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.body);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
});
`
Return object
+ Response object :
javascript
response = {
response,
body
};
`
+ Error object :
javascript
error = {
response,
body,
statusCode
};
