Module Cohttp.AuthSource
HTTP Authentication and Authorization header parsing and generation
HTTP authentication challenge types
Source
type credential = [ | `Basic of string * string(*Basic authorization with a username and password
*)| `Other of string(*An unknown credential type that will be passed straight through to the application layer
*)
]HTTP authorization credential types
string_of_credential converts the credential to a string compatible with the HTTP/1.1 wire format for authorization credentials ("responses")
credential_of_string cred_s converts an HTTP response to an authentication challenge into a credential. If the credential is not recognized, `Other cred_s is returned.
string_of_challenge challenge converts the challenge to a string compatible with the HTTP/1.1 wire format for authentication challenges.
For example, a `Basic challenge with realm "foo" will be marshalled to "Basic realm=foo", which can then be combined with a www-authenticate HTTP header and sent back to the client. There is a helper function Header.add_authorization_req that does just this.
