useDigestAuth (property)

Enables or disables the HTTP Digest authentication.

Syntax

• Objective-C
• Swift

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=useDigestAuth,setter=setUseDigestAuth:) BOOL useDigestAuth;
- (BOOL)useDigestAuth;
- (void)setUseDigestAuth:(BOOL)newUseDigestAuth;

public var useDigestAuth: Bool {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Digest authentication is more advanced than the Basic scheme, as it does not send the username and password in plain text and is immune to replay attacks.

Digest authentication is standardized in RFC 2617.
