I'm trying to use Basic HTTP Authentication and followed the example on the PHP manual page. But it doesn't work for me. The variable $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] doesn't seem to be set. When a user try to log in, the user is prompted whith a new login-dialog. The server is running PHP 5.3.3 and I have tried with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Here is the simple example that I used: <?php if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) { header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Jonas Realm"'); header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); echo 'User pressed Cancel'; exit; } else { echo "<p>Hello {$_SERVER['PHP

I am trying to access a site that is password protected.

For some of my Django views I've created a decorator that performs Basic HTTP access authentication. However, while writing test cases in Django, it took me a while to work out how to authenticate to the view. Here's how I did it. I hope somebody finds this useful. Humphrey Here's how I did it: from django.test import Client import base64 auth_headers = { 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION': 'Basic ' + base64.b64encode('username:password'), } c = Client() response = c.get('/my-protected-url/', **auth_headers) Note: You will also need to create a user. In your Django TestCase you can update the client

I'm using Retrofit to do a basic POST request, and I'm providing a basic @Body for the request. @POST("/rest/v1/auth/login") LoginResponse login(@Body LoginRequest loginRequest); When I'm building the interface for Retrofit I'm providing my own custom OkHttpClient, and all that I'm doing to it is adding my own custom authentication: @Provides @Singleton public Client providesClient() { OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient(); httpClient.setAuthenticator(new OkAuthenticator() { @Override public Credential authenticate(Proxy proxy, URL url, List<Challenge> challenges) throws IOException {
