HTTP Basic Authentication for URLRequest
Hello,
I'm trying to download a file from the server which requires basic
authentication(need to enter user name and password to access).
I came across these links:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/509219/flex-3-how-to-support-http-authentication-urlrequest
http://johncblandii.com/2011/07/flex-quick-tip-urlrequest-basic-auth.html
http://blog.derraab.com/2010/02/25/urlrequest-with-http-authentication/
Tried all of it. I either get IO error or I get windows authentication
popup window when I run the mobile app on my desktop.
None of it seem to work. I'm using Flex4.14\AIR16.

You should be aware that hard-coding the authentication parameters as you
have done in the examples makes those values visible to anyone with the
application. Running the app is not even necessary; just examining the
file, such as with a decompiler, will make the username and password values
visible, and probably defeat the purpose of requiring authentication in the
first place.

I believe the separation of the header from the body is the double CR. It's been a while since I've seen the standard.

Subject: Re: HTTP Basic Authentication for URLRequest
After all the experiments, this is what I have got.
Om, as3httpclient isn't giving me a progress event(I need progress event to
write the downloading file data in chunks). I thought onData event would
give me progress, but it isn't. Is there any other event I can try?
Kevin,
Your solution worked well. It authenticated the URL file(zip file). I did
not get username\password popup. It writes the file and creates it. But it
isn't opening the zip file. When I looked at the file size, I could see
320bytes of data is more than original file size. I think that's why file
is reported as corrupt and it is not opening.
This is what I am doing under progress event to create the zip file(it just
appends the data that we get in progress)
private function socket_dataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
//the tricky part, figuring out what to do with the raw data
// trace(socket.readUTFBytes(event.bytesLoaded));
localZipFile =
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath('C:\\Desktop\\dowloadedZipFile.zip');
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
socket.readBytes(bytes,bytes.length);
fileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, fileClosed);
fileStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onFSIOError);
fileStream.open( localZipFile, localZipFile.exists ?
FileMode.APPEND:FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeBytes( bytes );
fileStream.close();
}
After that, I tried to download and write a simple text file instead of zip
file. The text file just has 'Hello' written in it. This time, file got
downloaded and got written on the disk. But when I opened it, this is what
I got:
"HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: max-age=31536000

Connection: close

Hello"
And I feel this is the reason, zip is getting corrupted as it has some
extra header details in it.
So how can I avoid writing this header part to my zip file?

Yes, I think this is best approach. And is essentially what the
as3httpclient lib lets us do.

Re: HTTP Basic Authentication for URLRequest

I duplicated your situation with basic authentication and had the same
trouble of not being able to include the Authentication header using
urlstream.
Using Socket will allow you to authenticate and access the protected file,
but is a bit trickier.
private var socket:Socket;
private function connectSocket():void
{
if (!socket)
socket = new Socket;
socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,
socket_connectHandler);//socket successfully connected
socket.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
socket_IOErrorHandler);//socket failed to connect
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA,
socket_dataHandler);//received data from socket
socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose);//socket closed by
server
}
socket.connect("website.com", 80);
}
private function socket_connectHandler(event:Event):void
{
var b64:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder;
b64.encode("user1:user1Password");
var httpRequest:String = "GET /protected/testfile.txt
HTTP/1.1\r\n";//might try 1.0 depending on situation
httpRequest += "Authorization: Basic " + b64.toString() + "\r\n\r\n";
socket.writeUTFBytes(httpRequest);
sock.flush();
}
private function socket_dataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
//the tricky part, figuring out what to do with the raw data
trace(socket.readUTFBytes(event.bytesLoaded));
}
