Digest authentication with Jetty Websocket client

I want to write a Java Websocket client which needs digest authentication to authenticate at a server.

I played around with the Jetty Websocket client example but I have no idea how to easily add the digest authentication. Furthermore I found no online resources which give a hint on how it could be done.

I also find it quite hard to find information online as most people use Jetty as server (obviously). For example this is not a duplicate: How to authenticate websocket client in jetty?

Therefore I am wondering if it is possible to use digest authentication with the Jetty Websocket client?

you can try these two method:

  1. put your username and password in the websocket url.
    eg. ws://username:[email protected]/resturl

  2. generate Authorization and put this to the request header.

    String userpass = accessKey + ":" + secretKey;

String authorization = "Basic " + new String(new Base64().encode(userpass.getBytes())).trim();

ClientUpgradeRequest request = new ClientUpgradeRequest();

request.setHeader("Authorization", authorization);
