Basic Authentication using username and password

[athukuria]

Hi,

I am trying to use Authentication using username and password, But I am not sure where can I get those values from the header in my server:
I tried to use WSI_TOKEN_X_AUTH_TOKEN but it is not part of the header:
lws_hdr_copy(wsi, auth_header, sizeof(auth_header), WSI_TOKEN_X_AUTH_TOKEN)
LWS_CALLBACK_VERIFY_BASIC_AUTHORIZATION is not hit my server callback !

here is my client code: But I am not getting these Authorization as part of header. Looks like I am not using it correctly.
how to set Authorization header correctly for Basic Auth?

    info.port = CONTEXT_PORT_NO_LISTEN;
info.protocols = protocols;
info.gid = (gid_t) -1;
info.uid = (uid_t) -1;
info.iface = "wlp1s0";
if (username != "" && password != "") {
	std::string userpass = username + ":" + password;
	std::string base64_userpass = base64_encode(userpass);

	std::cout << "userpass: " << userpass << std::endl;
	std::cout << "usessl: " << use_ssl << std::endl;
	struct lws_protocol_vhost_options basic_auth[2] = { {
	NULL,
	NULL, "Authorization",
			("Basic " + base64_userpass).c_str() },
			{ NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL } };
	info.headers = &basic_auth[0];



	// Append Authorization header to the protocol options
std::string protocol_options = "Authorization: " + base64_userpass; //authorization_header;
info.alpn = protocol_options.c_str();
info.options |=LWSAUTHM_BASIC_AUTH_CALLBACK;

Currently, these are the header params I am getting:

get  = /test
host: = localhost
connection: = Upgrade
upgrade: = websocket
origin: = http://localhost
sec-websocket-protocol: = lws-mirror-protocol
http/1.1  = HTTP/1.1
pragma: = no-cache
cache-control: = no-cache
sec-websocket-key: = 0AotxGYwBt6mbIT+9gluZw==
sec-websocket-version: = 13

Thanks for the Support

No idea what you're trying to do there... setting info.alpn with it...

Instead take a look at how minimal-examples-lowlevel/http-client/minimal-http-client/minimal-http-client.c works.
