HTTPS/Authenticated

HTTPS/Authenticated
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

The goal of this task is to demonstrate HTTPS requests with authentication. Implementations of this task should not use client certificates for this: that is the subject of another task.

Perl

use LWP::UserAgent qw();
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $netloc = 'http://www.buddhism-dict.net/cgi-bin/xpr-dealt.pl:80';
$ua->credentials(
   $netloc,
   'CJK-E and Buddhist Dictionaries', # basic realm
   'guest',  # user
   '',       # empty pw
);
my $response = $ua->get($netloc);

use WWW::Mechanize qw();
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new;
$mech->get('https://login.yahoo.com/');
$mech->submit_form(with_fields => {
    login         => 'XXXXXX',
    passwd        => 'YYYYYY',
    '.persistent' => 'y',  # tick checkbox
});

Python

Works with: Python version 2.4 and 2.6

Note: You should install mechanize to run code below. Visit: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from mechanize import Browser

USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; tr-TR; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071102 Pardus/2007 Firefox/2.0.0.9"

br = Browser()
br.addheaders = [("User-agent", USER_AGENT)]

# remove comment if you get debug output
# br.set_debug_redirects(True)
# br.set_debug_responses(True)
# br.set_debug_http(True)

br.open("https://www.facebook.com")

br.select_form("loginform")
br['email'] = "xxxxxxx@xxxxx.com"
br['pass'] = "xxxxxxxxx"
br['persistent'] = ["1"]

response = br.submit()
print response.read()

Tcl

Works with: Tcl version 8.6

for the binary encode subcommand, otherwise use the base64 package from tcllib

Uses the Tls package. <lang Tcl>package require http package require tls http::register https 443 ::tls::socket

1. Generate the authentication

set user theUser set pass thePassword dict set auth Authenticate "Basic [binary encode base64 ${user}:${pass}]"

1. Make a secure authenticated connection

set token [http::geturl https://secure.example.com/ -headers $auth]

1. Now as for conventional use of the “http” package

set data [http::data $token] http::cleanup $token</lang>
