Client side HTTP Digest Authentication using PHP

[S?rgio Nunes]

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve the contents of a URL using
file_get_conten ts($url). The problem is that the URL is protected via
*HTTP Digest Authentication* .

Is there any php library that can handle all the necessary headers
during the request, or do I have to do it manually ?

Thanks!

Probably http://php.net/curl

Hi,

thanks for the answer but HTTP Digest is not (yet) supported using
PHP's CURL, as I figured out in this thread:

In that case, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...-meta-data.php on how to get
the HTTP response, and
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...ext-create.php on how to
set headers in a request.

Shouldn't be too hard to do manually. Just need to follow the RFC very
carefully.
