# http-digest
## Presentation
Small implementation of HTTP Digest Authentication (client-side) in Lua that mimics the API of LuaSocket.
Only supports auth/MD5, no reuse of client nonce, pull requests welcome.
## Dependencies
- luasocket
- md5
Tests require [cwtest](https://github.com/catwell/cwtest), a JSON parser and the availability of [httpbingo.org](http://httpbingo.org).
## Usage
See [LuaSocket](http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/http.html)'s `http.request`. Credentials must be contained in the URL. Both the simple and generic interface are supported. Here is an example with the simple interface:
```lua
local http_digest = require "http-digest"
local url = "http://user:[email protected]/digest-auth/auth/user/passwd"
local b, c, h = http_digest.request(url)
```
See the tests for more.
Other compatible http clients (like Copas or LuaSec) can be used as well. To use another http client replace the default one:
```lua
local http_digest = require "http-digest"
http_digest.http = require "copas.http"
```
