How To Configure HTTP Operations

How To Configure HTTP Operation That Requires Authentication

In this example 5.0.0.2 is the target HTTP Server, and the highlighted text is the base64 encoded equivalent of plain text username: password.

(config)#rtr 6
config-rtr)#type http operation raw url http://5.0.0.2:1744/
(config-rtr)#http-raw-request
(config-rtr-http-rr)#GET /cwb-ipm-etc/source/srcfile HTTP/1.0\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#Authorization: Basic aXBtOmNpc2Nv\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#exit
(config-rtr-http)#exit
(config)#rtr schedule 6 start-time now

How To Configure HTTP Operation Through Proxy

In this example 3.0.0.2 is the proxy server and 5.0.0.2 is the target HTTP Server.

(config)#rtr 6
(config-rtr)#type http operation raw url http://3.0.0.2
(config-rtr)#http-raw-request
(config-rtr-http-rr)#GET http://5.0.0.2/index.html HTTP/1.0 \r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#exit
(config-rtr-http)#exit
(config)#rtr schedule 6 start-time now

How To Configure HTTP Operation Through Proxy That Requires Authentication

In this example 3.0.0.2 is the proxy server and 5.0.0.2 is the target HTTP Server. The first highlighted text is the base64 encoded string for your proxy authentication as proxyuser: proxypassword, and the second highlighted text is the base64 encoded string for the username/password credential that is required to get to url http://5.0.0.2/index.html.

(config)#rtr 6
(config-rtr)#type http operation raw url http://3.0.0.2
(config-rtr)#http-raw-request
(config-rtr-http-rr)#GET http://5.0.0.2/index.html HTTP/1.0 \r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#Proxy-Authorization: Basic dGVzdDp0ZXN0\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#Authorization: Basic dTE1OTY5NjpQaXp6YTNnbw0K\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#\r\n
(config-rtr-http-rr)#exit
(config-rtr-http)#exit
(config)#rtr schedule 6 start-time now
