Detailed Description

HTTP Basic authentication allows access to specific resources to be restricted. This class uses a map to store accepted username/password combinations, which are then used for authenticating requests. To use a different method of authentication, override the verify() method in a derived class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QHttpEngine::BasicAuthMiddleware::BasicAuthMiddleware	(	const QString &	realm,
		QObject *	parent = Q_NULLPTR )

The realm string is shown to a client when credentials are requested.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add()

void QHttpEngine::BasicAuthMiddleware::add	(	const QString &	username,
		const QString &	password )

If the username has already been added, its password will be replaced with the new one provided.

◆ process()

virtual bool QHttpEngine::BasicAuthMiddleware::process ( Socket * socket )

virtual

If the verify() method returns true, the client will be granted access to the resources. Otherwise, 401 Unauthorized will be returned.

Implements QHttpEngine::Middleware.
