Class ChallengeRequest

java.lang.Object

com.kaazing.net.auth.ChallengeRequest

public class ChallengeRequest
extends Object

An immutable object representing the challenge presented by the server when the client accessed the URI represented by a location.

According to RFC 2617,

     challenge   = auth-scheme 1*SP 1#auth-param
 

so we model the authentication scheme and parameters in this class.

This class is also responsible for detecting and adapting the Application Basic and Application Negotiate authentication schemes into their Basic and Negotiate counterpart authentication schemes.
