Delphi & HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication

[msd 5]

Hello, 

 

I have one small question for Delphi network experts.

I need a source for Auth Digest for HikVision devices, and I will post a sample below.

 

GET /ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Digest

username="admin",

realm="IP Camera(C2183)",

nonce="4e5468694e7a42694e7a4d364f4449354d7a6b354d54513d",

uri="/ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream",

cnonce="3d183a245b8729121ae4ca3d41b90f18", nc=00000001,

qop="auth",

response="f2e0728991bb031f83df557a8"

Host: 10.6.165.192

 

Thanks for any help in advance...

Which HTTP client / component / library is used? (Indy, ICS, ...)

[Angus Robertson 660]

Assuming you've missed a newline after http/1.1, this looks is standard authentication, any proper library should handle it, ICS certainly should.

I'm using Indy with the latest Delphi version, and I have DevArt SecureBridge as another VCL for the network app...

It is not a problem if you have any advice from another VCL, but I try to pack all of my work in those two component sets.

 

Thanks for the help and assistance...

 

P.S. I'm using HikVision camera as HTTP client/server device.

Indy's TIdHTTP component supports Digest, just make sure the IdAuthenticationDigest unit is in your uses clause (directly, or via the IdAllAuthentications unit) . And then you can set the TIdHTTP.Request.Username and TIdHTTP.Request.Password as needed.
