## Description

Haskell implementation of Apache specific MD5 digest algorithm that uses
OpenSSL MD5.

## Documentation

Stable releases with API documentation are available on
[Hackage][Hackage: apache-md5].

## Installation

Requires OpenSSL library with header files. On Debian and Ubuntu Linux it's
provided by [`libssl-dev`][libssl-dev] package that can be installed using
`apt-get`:

$ apt-get install libssl-dev

For more see `apt-get(8)` manual page or e.g. [Ubuntu Documentation: AptGet
Howto][apt-get-howto].

After that just use [`cabal-install`][cabal-install] as you would normally do.
For details see [HaskellWiki: How to install a Cabal package][].

### Building Options

* `pedantic` (disabled by default)

Pass additional warning flags to GHC.

* `deepseq` (disabled by default)

Define instance of `NFData` for `Salt` newtype. This dependency is enforced
for benchmark.

* `examples` (disabled by default)

Build example(s).

## Example

Create htpasswd like entry and print it to stdout:

```Haskell
module Main (main)
where

import Control.Applicative ((<$>))
import System.Environment (getArgs, getProgName)
import System.Exit (exitFailure)
import System.IO (hPutStrLn, stderr)

import Control.Monad.Random (evalRandIO, getRandomRs)
-- MonadRandom package http://hackage.haskell.org/package/MonadRandom/
import Data.ByteString (ByteString)
import qualified Data.ByteString as BS (index, pack)
import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as C8 (concat, pack, putStrLn, singleton)
-- bytestring package http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring
import Data.Digest.ApacheMD5 (Salt, apacheMD5, mkSalt, unSalt)
import Data.Digest.ApacheMD5.Internal (alpha64)

htpasswdEntry :: String -> String -> Salt -> ByteString
htpasswdEntry username password salt = C8.concat
[ C8.pack username
, C8.pack ":$apr1$"
, unSalt salt
, C8.singleton '$'
, apacheMD5 (C8.pack password) salt
]

genSalt :: IO Salt
genSalt = do
Just s <- evalRandIO $ mkSalt . BS.pack . map (BS.index alpha64) . take 8
<$> getRandomRs (0, 63)
-- We know that Salt is correctly generated, since we use alpha64 to do
-- it. That is the reason why we can pattern match on Just.
--
-- Other option would be to use Salt value constructor from
-- Data.Digest.ApacheMD5.Internal module.
return s

main :: IO ()
main = do
args <- getArgs
progName <- getProgName
case args of
[userName, password] ->
genSalt >>= C8.putStrLn . htpasswdEntry userName password
_ -> do
hPutStrLn stderr $ "Usage: " ++ progName ++ " USER_NAME PASSWORD"
exitFailure
```

Compiling and running above example:

$ ghc -Wall example.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( example.hs, example.o )
Linking example ...
$ ./example
Usage: example USER_NAME PASSWORD
$ ./example foo 123456
foo:$apr1$yM9AMlr2$EHssuHrqSAe8HPrAdN7HC/

## Unit Tests

Requires `htpasswd` command line utility installed. It is used as a reference
implementation of Apache MD5 algorithm by unit tests. On Debian and Ubuntu
Linux it is provided by [`apache2-utils`][apache2-utils] package that can be
installed using `apt-get`:

$ apt-get install apache2-utils

For more see `apt-get(8)` manual page or e.g. [Ubuntu Documentation: AptGet
Howto][apt-get-howto].

There is also a possibility to compile Apache `htpasswd` your self, see
[test/apache-htpasswd/README.md][] for more information on how to do that.

To run tests use command similar to this:

$ cabal configure --enable-tests && cabal build && cabal test

## Benchmarks

This package provides [Criterion][] benchmarks, to run them you can use
something like:

$ cabal configure --enable-benchmarks && cabal build && cabal bench

To generate HTML output one needs to specify output file. Then the last
command in above chain would look like:

$ cabal bench --benchmark-option=--output=benchmarks.html

Where `benchmarks.html` is the name of [Criterion][] generated HTML file.
