Demo Web Server

The Docker Compose file has a simple server with an endpoint secured with digest authentication. Start using docker compose up.

The endpoint /api.cgi is protected with digest authentication, and the response shows the authenticated user, content type, and body.

$ curl --user user:password --digest -d param=value localhost:8080/api.cgi
Remote user: user
Content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Body:
0000000   p   a   r   a   m   =   v   a   l   u   e
0000013

RestTemplate Demo

The demonstration application configures RestTemplate with a HttpClient that can provide the required credentials.

The code calls RestTemplate.postForObject with MultiValueMap to make a POST request, providing digest authentication when challenged.

This works with Spring Framework 6.0.13, but fails with Spring Framework 6.1.0-RC2.
