Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
Parsing WWW-Authenticate headers is difficult. Let this tiny library do all the hard work for you.
The header contains a set of comma-separated challenges, but the parameters for
each challenge are also comma-separated. Some challenges in the wild don't have
parameters, which violates the spec. The Negotiate
challenge eschews the
required name-value pairs and has a single string as its parameter.
Some servers may offer more challenges than you were expecting, but you'd still like to notice the one you care about.
It's really easy::
import www_authenticate
parsed = www_authenticate.parse(response.headers['WWW-Authenticate'])
if 'Basic' in parsed: realm = parsed['Basic']['realm'] if 'Negotiate' in parsed: challenge = parsed['Negotiate']
The returned object is a collections.OrderedDict
with authentication scheme
names as keys. The values are either dictionaries, a single string, or None
if there are no parameters.
This package is in PyPI. Install with::
$ pip install www-authenticate
There are no external dependencies.
