It's not obvious how to turn authentication off after using it, so I recommend using custom handles with authentication.
authenticate(user, password, type = "basic")
user | user name |
---|---|
password | password |
type | type of HTTP authentication. Should be one of the following types supported by Curl: basic, digest, digest_ie, gssnegotiate, ntlm, any. It defaults to "basic", the most common type. |
Other config:
add_headers()
,
config()
,
set_cookies()
,
timeout()
,
use_proxy()
,
user_agent()
,
verbose()
