Thanks for setting me on the right track. This is the first and (so far) only response I got so I supposed it was a stupid or impossible question. Which is very likely because I'm new to python and twisted. Paul Op 5 dec 2011, om 14:51 heeft exarkun@twistedmatrix.com het volgende geschreven:

Hi
Made something that connects to a httpserver and parses the xml stream it sends. The webserver it has to connect to uses digest authentication.
How can I implement digest authentication in this?
Digest authentication is performed in the headers of requests and responses. The server sends a challenge, the client computes a response proving they know a secret only one user is supposed to know.

def cbResponse(response):
The response object has all of the headers sent from the server. You can inspect them and then compute the appropriate challenge response to include in your *next* request. If you get it right, then the server will give you the content instead of sending you a challenge.
Some work has been done on adding higher-level support for this feature to Twisted, but it is not yet complete. You can follow its progress or pitch in at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5148.
