Package Exports

http-auth-client

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (http-auth-client) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

HTTP Authentication Client

This library parses the www-Authenticate request header(s) and provides the Authorization response header value.

Unlike other libraries it does not do the request itself so it is not tied to any particular request library.

It currently supports HTTP Basic and HTTP Digest authentication.

Usage

TODO

do a request using your favourite request library.
get a 401 response
get the www-authenticate header(s)

const Auth = require('http-auth-client')

// parse request header
var challenges = Auth.parseHeaders(req.headers['www-authenticate'])
var auth = Auth.create(challenges)

// once you have the username and password
auth.credentials(username, password)

// do an authenticated request
req.set("Authorization", auth.authorization("GET", "/test"))
