Hi
I've had as quick go at creating a filter for basic authentication. It
works well for my tests and uses the Base64 encoder provided with
commons-codec:
<snip>
public class BasicAuthenticationClientFilter extends ClientFilter {
public BasicAuthenticationClientFilter(final String username,
final String password) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
}
public ClientResponse handle(ClientRequest clientRequest) throws
ClientHandlerException {
// encode the password
byte[] encoded = Base64.encodeBase64((username + ":" +
password).getBytes());
// add the header
List<Object> headerValue = new ArrayList<Object>();
headerValue.add("Basic " + new String(encoded));
clientRequest.getMetadata().put("Authorization", headerValue);
return getNext().handle(clientRequest);
}
private String username;
private String password;
}
</snip>
I'd like to make it more robust and useful as a contribution to
jersey. I need some tests for it and was also wondering if it should
check for the username and the password in the URI:
http://mike:secret@localhost/ ? Any thoughts?
Cheers
Mike
