Basic Auth with TuniURLFrame

[Harry Rogers]

Hi

 

Is there a means to set the authorization header when using a TUniURLFrame?

I need to access some resources in a unigui app that are 'protected' by http authentication and I don't want the user to have ready access to the credentials / or require them to type anything in.

- it used to be possible to enter these in the url (//username:password@theurl) but that's been long deprecated.

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

Can you explain a bit more what you wanted ?

Hi

When a user access a url that is protected with this mechanism they are presented with a username & password dialog - by the browser.

A client can included the credentials in the request header.

 

The simplest implementation (basic access authentication) uses the authorization header field of the http request

e.g. the request header contains

 Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l

where QW.... is the username and password string, base64 encoded.

 

Subsequent versions have been defined e.g. Digest access authentication

in which the username and password are hashed.

 

I wanted to prevent the 'browser', a TUniURLFrame in my case, from popping up the dialog to request credentials, and have them silently presented via the request header.

for this to be possible Farshad would have to implement this
