Description

Authentication

Usage

auth(user, pwd, auth = "basic")

Arguments

user

(character) username, required. see Details.

pwd

(character) password, required. see Details.

auth

(character) authentication type, one of basic (default), digest, digest_ie, gssnegotiate, ntlm, or any. required

Details

Only supporting simple auth for now, OAuth later maybe.

For user and pwd you are required to pass in some value. The value can be NULL to - which is equivalent to passing in an empty string like "" in httr::authenticate. You may want to pass in NULL for both user and pwd for example if you are using gssnegotiate auth type. See example below.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "basic")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "digest")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "ntlm")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "any")

# gssnegotiate auth
auth(NULL, NULL, "gssnegotiate")

# }
# NOT RUN {
# with HttpClient
(res <- HttpClient$new(
  url = "https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd",
  auth = auth(user = "user", pwd = "passwd")
))
res$auth
x <- res$get()
jsonlite::fromJSON(x$parse("UTF-8"))

# with HttpRequest
(res <- HttpRequest$new(
  url = "https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd",
  auth = auth(user = "user", pwd = "passwd")
))
res$auth
# }
