Digest Authentication

hi,

You all know about basic authentication method use in most places here I share something about digest authentication method.

Below code is for digest authentication ask using pop-up when try to enter site.

Installation:

If you already have installed ruby gem then you have to now install one more gem for
digest authentication gem.

gem install net-http-digest_auth

check http://rubygems.org/gems/net-http-digest_auth for dependency for this gem.

Example code :

require 'rubygems'
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'net/http/digest_auth'


def authentication_check

#change your site which have digest authentication, this url use just for example.
uri = URI.parse 'http://api.del.icio.us/v1/tags/get'
uri.user = 'username'
uri.password = 'password'

digest_auth = Net::HTTP::DigestAuth.new
auth = digest_auth.auth_header uri, res['www-authenticate'], 'GET'
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri
req.add_field 'Authorization', auth
res = h.request req
#return res.code # for get http return code
return res.message # for http message

end

Firewatir Jssh error : Unable to connect to machine : 127.0.0.1 on port 9997

Hello,


I get following error when i work with firewatir for firefox on Centos - 64 bit ,

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.7/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:158:in `set_defaults': Unable to connect to machine : 127.0.0.1 on port 9997. Make sure that JSSh is properly installed and Firefox is running with '-jssh' option (Watir::Exception::UnableToStartJSShException)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/firewatir-1.6.7/lib/firewatir/firefox.rb:50:in `initialize'
from /home/test.rb:39:in `new'
from /home/test.rb:39




firewatir require Jssh extension for working, but even installing Jssh extension with firefox but I continue getting error.

I have done many googling and try to change in firefox.rb as i found some where but my problem not solved.

Not solution but i found suggestion for me and you also :

I don't know in which cases this problem occur but I found that JSSH not support with 64 bit Os. so I then try with centos - 32 bit and my error solved and firefox browser works fine.


So if any one know about how it work with 64 bit they can also post there solutions here.
