Login does not accept digest auth from proxy
RETS URL: http://gamls-rets.paragonrels.com/ret... User name: HOUSECANRET
I have python code that looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import logging
import os
try:
import httplib
except ImportError:
import http.client as httplib
finally:
httplib.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 2
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
requests_log = logging.getLogger("requests.packages.urllib3")
requests_log.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
requests_log.propagate = True
URL = 'http://gamls-rets.paragonrels.com/rets/fnisrets.aspx/GAMLS/login?rets-version=rets/1.7.2'
username = os.getenv('TEST_USERNAME')
password = os.getenv('TEST_PASSWORD')
if username and password:
resp = requests.get(URL, auth=HTTPDigestAuth(username, password))
print('Status code: {}'.format(resp.status_code))
print('Cookies: {}'.format(resp.cookies))
print('Headers: {}'.format(resp.headers))
print('Content: {}'.format(resp.content))
else:
print('Need env-vars TEST_USERNAME and TEST_PASSWORD')
I invoke from the command line like this:
TEST_USERNAME=<...> TEST_PASSWORD=<...> python paragon-test.py
When I run from my MBP, I get 200. From Amazon EC2 with a proxy, I get 401:

It looks to me as if the request for digest auth is actually doing basic auth but I can't see why that would be so.
This is related to the previous issue: http://vendorsupport.paragonrels.com/...
2021-01-12: This issue can be replicated locally by adding a forwarding header to the GET:
resp = requests.get(
URL,
auth=HTTPDigestAuth(username, password),
headers={'x-forwarded-for': '10.18.112.126'},
)
Comments
You can try HTTPS with basic authentication and see if that works.
Basic Auth works. We want to go Digest Auth because of sharing sessions, rate limits, etc. Also, as in the cited previous issue, Digest Auth used to work for us.
