tenduke::http::HTTPRequestAuthenticator Class Reference

#include <HTTPRequestAuthenticator.h>

Detailed Description

This is a service, that can be added to tenduke::http::HTTPRequest to add authentication information to the request.

Typically this service adds "Authorization"-header with the authentication credentials.

You can get the same effect simply by adding headers to the request manually, but this service makes it possible to dynamically change the credentials at the execution time. For example, the service could refresh expired OAuth access token before executing the HTTP-request.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The header(s) added by the authenticator will be added to the request first.
