Curl responded with 401: Unauthorized even with username and password sent-CodePudding

I have a batch script that uses curl to do a http-get request to a webserver in the network. Problem is in curl im getting a response of 401: Unauthorized even if i send the username and password compared to just entering the link in a browser like google chrome which returns 200: OK

C:\Users\myuser>curl -I "http://admin:[email protected]/arg1=0&arg2=20&arg3=0"
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="Login to 28b6e642501d12764d8430059585d39b", qop="auth", nonce="1592879309", opaque="ecd7f630cfdef2dec4aebb35f81708e84d20a755"
Connection: close
Set-Cookie:secure; HttpOnly
CONTENT-LENGTH: 0

I have also tried:

curl -I -u admin:admin1234 "http://admin:[email protected]/arg1=0&arg2=20&arg3=0"
curl -I -u admin:admin1234 "http://192.168.0.4/arg1=0&arg2=20&arg3=0"

With the same result 401: Unauthorized. I know it not a problem with the device im connecting to since if i use http://admin:[email protected]/arg1=0&arg2=20&arg3=0 in google chrome, the device operates as it should and it also returns with 200: OK

Is there a different way of sending username and password, bonus if the username and password do not show up in any log files

CodePudding user response：

The clue is in this response header field:

WWW-Authenticate: Digest

It means the server wants the client to use the Digest method, and not Basic which is the default method when -u is used.

Add --digest to the command line, or perhaps --anyauth.
