HTTP Digest Authentication

[marcoshack]

(previously on savon: "HTTP Basic Auth" :)

Is there HTTP Digest Authentication support in Savon?

[rubiii]

no, right now there is no support for http digest authentication. i know it's possible to force the standard ruby net::http library to allow http digest authentication, but until now there was no demand to add this feature.

i may add it in an upcoming release and i'll leave this issue open for now.

hi i need digest auth, too. why u use the old net/http and not httpclient. it has the digest auth included.

[rubiii]

httpclient looks like a good alternative to net/http. it looks like it's jruby-compatible (which is one of my requirements), so i'll definitely take a look at it. thanks in advance. will keep you updated on the progress.

[rubiii]

the current dev branch contains an update that finally makes this possible. i'm now using the HTTPI (http://rubygems.org/gems/httpi) gem to execute HTTP requests. it defaults to use HTTPClient which allows you to use HTTP digest authentication.

there's still some refactoring left to do, but i hope to get this released asap.

[rubiii]

please try savon 0.8.0.beta.1

[rubiii]

released v0.8.0 which should solve this problem.
