Hi 🙂
Does anyone here know if there is something existing for http4k to do Digest Authentication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication) with a client in http4k? 🙂

There is nothing currently implemented for digest Auth AfAIK. We'll happily take a PR to add it if you come up with a Filter to implement. 😉

FYI, there is a PR open for the feature: https://github.com/http4k/http4k/pull/629

[Mervyn McCreight]

Nice! 👍 I was thinking about doing a PR for this as well, but did not start yet 😅

[dave]

FYI Digest is released in the new release v4.9.10.0

[Mervyn McCreight]

Yeah, thanks 😸. Already updated and replaced my own logic with the integrated one 👍
Maybe I missed it, but on the http4k there is nothing about how to use it in the reference part, isn't it?
Is there a way to contribute something that there is a part in there as well?

Wasn't too bad, because it's quite self-explaining how to use it in my opinion.
The only thing one might need to know is that he has to add http4k-security-digest as a dependency.

Yeah - it only got released yesterday so the docs aren't there yet. We need to add:

Entry in readme
Add it to the module page
Reference section/how to

[Andrew O'Hara]

Yeah, not a problem.
