Class DigestScheme

java.lang.Object

org.apache.http.impl.auth.AuthSchemeBase

org.apache.http.impl.auth.RFC2617Scheme

org.apache.http.impl.auth.DigestScheme

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, AuthScheme, ContextAwareAuthScheme

@NotThreadSafe
public class DigestScheme
extends RFC2617Scheme

Digest authentication scheme as defined in RFC 2617. Both MD5 (default) and MD5-sess are supported. Currently only qop=auth or no qop is supported. qop=auth-int is unsupported. If auth and auth-int are provided, auth is used.

Since the digest username is included as clear text in the generated Authentication header, the charset of the username must be compatible with the HTTP element charset used by the connection.

Since:

4.0

public DigestScheme()

Method Detail

processChallenge

public void processChallenge(Header header)
                      throws MalformedChallengeException

Processes the Digest challenge.

Specified by:

processChallenge in interface AuthScheme

Overrides:

processChallenge in class AuthSchemeBase

Parameters:

header - the challenge header

Throws:

MalformedChallengeException - is thrown if the authentication challenge is malformed

isComplete

public boolean isComplete()

Tests if the Digest authentication process has been completed.

Returns:

true if Digest authorization has been processed, false otherwise.

getSchemeName

public String getSchemeName()

Returns textual designation of the digest authentication scheme.

Returns:

digest

isConnectionBased

public boolean isConnectionBased()

Returns false. Digest authentication scheme is request based.

Returns:

false.

overrideParamter
