    copied!<p>I am creating an Android app where I am authenticating username/password through a server.Initially server was implementing <code>Basic</code> authentication so my code was working fine but now server has changed to <code>Digest</code> authentication so my old code is not working.</p> <p>What changes should do make for using <code>Digest</code> authentication?</p> <p>My code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>private boolean authenticateUser() { try { String url_str = "http://serverweb.com/checkauthentication.php"; HttpPost post = new HttpPost(url_str); Log.v("AUTHENTICATION URL = ", url_str); post.addHeader("Authorization","Basic "+getCredentials()); ResponseHandler&lt;String&gt; responseHandler=new BasicResponseHandler(); String response_body = client.execute(post, responseHandler); Log.v("SERVER RESPONSE DATA = ", response_body); XMLDataParser.parseXML(XMLDataParser.USER_INFORMATION_PARSER_CODE, response_body); List&lt;Cookie&gt; cookies = client.getCookieStore().getCookies(); if (!cookies.isEmpty()) { for (int i = 0; i &lt; cookies.size(); i++) { XMLData.cookie = cookies.get(i); } } return true; } catch (MalformedURLException mue) { Log.i("MalformedURLException", " "+mue.getMessage()); displayDialog("User Does Not exist"); return false; } catch (IOException ioe) { Log.i("IOException", " "+ioe.getMessage()); displayDialog("User Does Not exist"); return false; } catch (Exception e) { Log.i("Exception", " "+e.getMessage()); displayDialog("Error"); return false; } } private String getCredentials() { String u=edit_username.getText().toString(); String p=edit_password.getText().toString(); Log.v("USER NAME = ",u); Log.v("PASSWORD = ",p); return(Base64.encodeBytes((u+":"+p).getBytes())); } </code></pre>
