I have a web app that accesses a data-store via Lua CGI scripts. I can connect fine using Basic Authentication. Now I'm trying to connect using Digest Authentication (which until yesterday I knew nothing about) and am getting nowhere. I'm using the http-digest Lua library. It looks like I'm getting part of it right, because I see the server first responds with a 401 and then I get a 204 from the server.
When using Basic Auth, I can get a response from the server using http.request(myUrl, myQuery). It sends me back data and I can go on with my business.
With Digest Auth I use pretty much the same call, http_digest.request(myUrl, myQuery) This is what ultimately results in the 204 response from the server.
So my questions are:1)does that 204 response indicate I'm successfully authenticating? 2)if I am successfully authenticating, how do I get a response to the query I send the server? and 3)if I'm not authenticating, what do I need to do differently?
Thanks for any suggestions.
I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Ps 18.1-2)
