Implemented Interfaces

SoupAuthManager implements SoupSessionFeature.

Includes

#include <libsoup/soup.h>

Description

SoupAuthManager is the SoupSessionFeature that handles HTTP authentication for a SoupSession.

A SoupAuthManager is added to the session by default, and normally you don't need to worry about it at all. However, if you want to disable HTTP authentication, you can remove the feature from the session with soup_session_remove_feature_by_type(), or disable it on individual requests with soup_message_disable_feature().

Functions

soup_auth_manager_use_auth ()

void
soup_auth_manager_use_auth (SoupAuthManager *manager,
                            SoupURI *uri,
                            SoupAuth *auth);

Records that auth is to be used under uri , as though a WWW-Authenticate header had been received at that URI. This can be used to "preload" manager 's auth cache, to avoid an extra HTTP round trip in the case where you know ahead of time that a 401 response will be returned.

This is only useful for authentication types where the initial Authorization header does not depend on any additional information from the server. (Eg, Basic or NTLM, but not Digest.)

Parameters

manager

a SoupAuthManager

 

uri

the SoupURI under which auth is to be used

 

auth

the SoupAuth to use

 

Since: 2.42


soup_auth_manager_clear_cached_credentials ()

void
soup_auth_manager_clear_cached_credentials
                               (SoupAuthManager *manager);

Clear all credentials cached by manager

Parameters

manager

a SoupAuthManager

 

Since: 2.58

Types and Values

SoupAuthManager

typedef struct _SoupAuthManager SoupAuthManager;

SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_MANAGER

#define SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_MANAGER            (soup_auth_manager_get_type ())

The GType of SoupAuthManager; you can use this with soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() or soup_message_disable_feature().

(Although this type has only been publicly visible since libsoup 2.42, it has always existed in the background, and you can use g_type_from_name ("SoupAuthManager") to get its GType in earlier releases.)

Since: 2.42

Signal Details

The “authenticate” signal

void
user_function (SoupAuthManager *manager,
               SoupMessage     *msg,
               SoupAuth        *auth,
               gboolean         retrying,
               gpointer         user_data)

Emitted when the manager requires the application to provide authentication credentials.

SoupSession connects to this signal and emits its own “authenticate” signal when it is emitted, so you shouldn't need to use this signal directly.

Parameters

manager

the SoupAuthManager

 

msg

the SoupMessage being sent

 

auth

the SoupAuth to authenticate

 

retrying

TRUE if this is the second (or later) attempt

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First
