PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::PHTTPMultiSimpAuth

(

const PString &

realm

)

Parameters

realm

Name space for the username and password.

PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::PHTTPMultiSimpAuth	(	const PString &	realm,
		const PStringToString &	userList
	)

Parameters

realm	Name space for the usernames.

Member Function Documentation

void PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::AddUser	(	const PString &	username,
		const PString &	password
	)

Get the user name allocated to this simple authorisation.

Returns

String for the authorisation user name.

virtual PObject* PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::Clone ( ) const

virtual

Create a copy of the class on the heap.

This is used by the PHTTPResource classes for maintaining authorisation to resources.

Returns

pointer to new copy of the class instance.

Reimplemented from PObject.

virtual PString PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::GetRealm ( const PHTTPRequest &  request ) const

virtual

Get the realm or name space for the user authorisation name and password as required by the basic authorisation system of HTTP/1.0.

Returns

String for the authorisation realm name.

Parameters

request

This could be used to distinguish between net requiring authorisation and requiring autorisation but having no password.

The default behaviour is to return true.

Returns

true if the authorisation in the realm is to be applied.

Reimplemented from PHTTPAuthority.

virtual PBoolean PHTTPMultiSimpAuth::Validate ( const PHTTPRequest &  request, const PString &  authInfo  ) const

virtual
