http-authentication

I'm trying to request a HTTP resource that requires basic authorization headers from within an Adobe AIR application. I've tried manually adding the headers to the request, as well as using the setRemoteCredentials() method to set them, to no avail. Here's the code: <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent; private function authAndSend(service:HTTPService):void { service.setRemoteCredentials('someusername', 'somepassword'); service.send(); } private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { apiResult.text = event.result.toString(); }

It looks like implementing basic HTTP authentication with Express v3 was trivial: app.use(express.basicAuth('username', 'password')); Version 4 (I'm using 4.2) removed the basicAuth middleware, though, so I'm a little stuck. I have the following code, but it doesn't cause the browser to prompt the user for credentials, which is what I'd like (and what I imagine the old method did): app.use(function(req, res, next) { var user = auth(req); if (user === undefined || user['name'] !== 'username' || user['pass'] !== 'password') { res.writeHead(401, 'Access invalid for user', {'Content-Type' : 'text

I'm writing some browser side dynamic functionality and using HTTP Basic Auth to protect some resources. The user experience is very important and is highly customized. Here's a simple test JQuery method that eventually will test if a user has supplied the right credentials in a form: $(document).ready(function() { $("#submit").click(function() { var token = Base64.encode($('#username').val() + ':' + $('#password').val()); $.ajax({ url: '/private', method: 'GET', async: false, beforeSend: function(req) { req.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'test:password'); }, error: function(request,

We have a website running on Apache, access to which has a number of static pages protected via HTTP Basic authentication. I've written a new part of the site with Django using Django's built in support for user management. The problem I have is that users have to log in once via the HTTP Basic authentication and then again using a Django login form. This both clumsy and very confusing for users. I was wondering if anyone had found a way to make Django log a user in using the HTTP Basic authentication information. I not expecting to pass a password to Django, but rather if a user dave has been

I'm trying to get a small twitter client running and I ran into a problem when testing API calls that require authentication. My password has special characters in it, so when I try to use the following code it doesn't work. NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"status=%@", [status stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES]; NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]]; NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init]

I am trying to imply the basic authentication process for a web service using JMeter. But everytime it throws out an error 401:Unauthorized. I tried using the HTTP Header manager to add a header Authorization and value to it. Still it does not work. I have also tried using the HTTP Authorization manager. Still no luck. Can someone help. I've found through debugging requests coming in from JMeter that the HTTP Authorization Manager module doesn't encode the username and password correctly. It puts a newline character after the username. To run a JMeter test against a Basic Auth protected
