[README] the list of supported authentication schemes is missing

[dodikk]

According to the demo app, the library supports BASIC authentication scheme.
The "readme" page neither mentions that, nor tells about other schemes support.

What is the state of the listed ones ?

• DIGEST
• NTLM
• ADFS
• Other common schemes http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-authschemes/http-authschemes.xhtml

This library supports all of the authentication schemes NSURLAuthentication supports.

This has been tested with NTLM and ADFS authentication, (which NSURLAuthentication natively supports). Basically, if an authentication method works in Safari, it'll probably work here, too.

Thanks for the reply. I was asking since I tried to connect via ADFS but failed. My mistake was incorrect stubbing of the canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace: method.

Incorrect code:

- (BOOL)authenticatingHTTPProtocol:(JAHPAuthenticatingHTTPProtocol *)authenticatingHTTPProtocol
canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace
{
    // that's not correct
    return true;
}

As the result, I saw some OAuth related redirects in the logs and the desired page has not loaded properly.

Fixed code :

- (BOOL)authenticatingHTTPProtocol:(JAHPAuthenticatingHTTPProtocol *)authenticatingHTTPProtocol
canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace
{
    NSArray* interceptedAuthMethods =
    @[
      NSURLAuthenticationMethodHTTPBasic
      , NSURLAuthenticationMethodNTLM
    ];
    
    NSSet* interceptedAuthMethodsSet = [NSSet setWithArray: interceptedAuthMethods];
    
    BOOL canAuthenticate =
        [interceptedAuthMethodsSet containsObject: protectionSpace.authenticationMethod];
    
    return canAuthenticate;
}

P.S. I hope that helps if someone runs into similar problems.
