NAME

6       LWP::Authen::Gooddata - Handle GoodData HTTP authentication mechanism
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use WWW::GoodData::Agent;
10         my $agent = new WWW::GoodData::Agent ('https://secure.gooddata.com/gdc');
11         $agent->post ('/gdc/account/login', ...);
12         # The authentication cookie gets obtained transparently here
13         $agent->get ('/gdc/md');
14

DESCRIPTION

16       LWP::Authen::Gooddata gets loaded and invoked by a LWP::UserAgent, or
17       its subclass such as WWW::GoodData::Agent, upon reciept of 401
18       "Unauthorized" response from the server which indicates use of
19       "GoodData" authentization mechanism in the "WWW-Authenticate" header.
20
21       If the challenge indicates the temporary authentization cookie needs to
22       be refreshed it does so transparently and reissues the request,
23       otherwise dies with appropriate explanation.
24

METHODS

27           Called by LWP::UserAgent internally.

BUGS

36       GoodData authentization mechanism is not an internet standard and thus
37       puts an interoperability barrier. Unfortunatelly, no standard and
38       widely supported mechanism provides comparable benefits (mostly server-
39       side performance coupled with sanity of implementation). Probably an
40       alternative mechanism should be provided (Basic or Digest, which are
41       both widely available) for the client to negotiate.
