interface nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider : nsICancelable

/**
 * nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider
 *
 * This interface is intended for providing authentication for http-style
 * channels, like nsIHttpChannel and nsIWebSocket, which implement the
 * nsIHttpAuthenticableChannel interface.
 *
 * When requesting pages AddAuthorizationHeaders MUST be called
 * in order to get the http cached headers credentials. When the request is
 * unsuccessful because of receiving either a 401 or 407 http response code
 * ProcessAuthentication MUST be called and the page MUST be requested again
 * with the new credentials that the user has provided. After a successful
 * request, checkForSuperfluousAuth MAY be called, and disconnect MUST be
 * called.

Methods

impl nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider to one of its base interfaces.

impl nsIHttpChannelAuthProvider
[src]

[src]

   * Initializes the http authentication support for the channel.
   * Implementations must hold a weak reference of the channel.

/**
   * Upon receipt of a server challenge, this function is called to determine
   * the credentials to send.
   *
   * @param httpStatus
   *        the http status received.
   * @param sslConnectFailed
   *        if the last ssl tunnel connection attempt was or not successful.
   * @param callback
   *        the callback to be called when it returns NS_ERROR_IN_PROGRESS.
   *        The implementation must hold a weak reference.
   *
   * @returns NS_OK if the credentials were got and set successfully.
