Re: Basic / Digest authentication in website

[rowdog]

LWP handles digest authentication as long as you get the credentials right. A simple example...

#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->credentials('jigsaw.w3.org:80', 'test', 'guest', 'guest');
my $response = $ua->get('http://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Digest/');
$response->is_success or die $response->status_line;
print $response->decoded_content;

You can check your credentials with Firefox. Open the URL, notice the realm it tells you, enter user/pass and verify that you can actually log in. If all that checks out, you might need to deal with cookies and/or Javascript.
