http-authentication

I'm trying to connect to a mongodb instance through a python socket. The url looks like this username:password@host.com:port how can I connect to this with a python socket? The following code gives me this error: [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname import socket import tornado full_url = '%s:%s@%s' % (username, password, host) s = socket.socket() s.connect((full_url, port)) stream = iostream.IOStream(s) EDIT - the reason I ask is because asyncmongo doesn't support this type of url right now. I'm trying to see if I can write a patch. The asyncmongo library connects using a socket

I try to make an authenticate call to the twitter API with the Application only Authentication API NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData timeoutInterval:20.0]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"]; [request setValue:@"Some App Name" forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"]; [request setValue:authValue forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"]; [request setHTTPBody:[@"grant_type=client_credentials"

I am currently working on a Java project and I can't get the http digest authentication working. I tried using the Apache website, but it didn't help. I have a site that requires HTTP digest authentication. DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); String hostUrl = "http://somewebsite.com"; String postUrl = "http://somewebsite.com/request"; HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(postUrl); String username = "hello"; String password = "world"; HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost(hostUrl); httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials( new AuthScope(hostUrl, AuthScope.ANY_PORT), new

I need to make a page that will Login to a site automatically via http-authentication Show said site with an iframe I was thinking I could use XHR and specify the login headers directly, and then use javascript to create the iframe. Does this make sense? Will it work? Due to the same-origin-policy your XHR approach won't work. However, for HTTP authentication you can simply include the data in the url, i.e. the src of the <iframe> : <iframe src="http://username:password@domain.tld/..."></iframe> I think I don't have to mention that this should not be done if the login credentials are sensitive

I have a site with links like this: http://www.example.com/index.php?id=1 http://www.example.com/index.php?id=3 etc. I would like to have htaccess password protection for a specific ID, say 200. How can I do this? This is not straight forward but here is a way it can be done in .htaccess itself: RewriteEngine On # set URI to /index.php/200 if query string is id=200 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)id=(200|1)(?:&|$) [NC] RewriteRule ^(index\.php)/?$ $1/%1 [NC] # set SECURED var to 1 if URI is /index.php/200 SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "^/index\.php/(200|1)" SECURED # enforce auth if SECURED=1

I need to perform preemptive basic authentication against an HTTP server, i.e., authenticate right away without waiting on a 401 response. Can this be done with httplib2? Edit: I solved it by adding an Authorization header to the request, as suggested in the accepted answer: headers["Authorization"] = "Basic {0}".format( base64.b64encode("{0}:{1}".format(username, password))) Add an appropriately formed 'Authorization' header to your initial request. This also works with the built-in httplib (for anyone wishing to minimize 3rd-party libs/modules). I am using it to authenticate with our Jenkins

I'm using the basic HTTP authentication provided in Laravel to log in to my website. However, when I call Auth::Check() I always get false as the response even though I am logged in. Does Auth::Check() not work with the basic authentication model and if not, is there any way to check the basic authentication to see if a user is logged in? This is my user class: namespace App; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; class User extends Authenticatable { /** * The attributes that are mass assignable. * * @var array */ protected $fillable = [ 'email', 'password', ]; /** * The
