# httpntlm

__httpntlm__ is a Node.js library to do HTTP NTLM authentication

It's a port from the Python libary [python-ntml](https://code.google.com/p/python-ntlm/)

## Install

You can install __httpntlm__ using the Node Package Manager (npm):

    npm install httpntlm

## How to use

```js
var httpntlm = require('httpntlm');

httpntlm.get({
    url: "https://someurl.com",
    username: 'm$',
    password: 'stinks',
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: ''
}, function (err, res){
    if(err) return err;

    console.log(res.headers);
    console.log(res.body);
});
```

It supports __http__ and __https__.

## Options

- `url:`      _{String}_   URL to connect. (Required)
- `username:` _{String}_   Username. (Required)
- `password:` _{String}_   Password. (Required)
- `workstation:` _{String}_ Name of workstation or `''`.
- `domain:`   _{String}_   Name of domain or `''`.

You can also pass along all other options of [httpreq](https://github.com/SamDecrock/node-httpreq), including custom headers, cookies, body data, ... and use POST, PUT or DELETE instead of GET.

## Advanced

If you want to use the NTLM-functions yourself, you can access the ntlm-library like this (https example):

```js
var ntlm = require('httpntlm').ntlm;
var async = require('async');
var httpreq = require('httpreq');
var HttpsAgent = require('agentkeepalive').HttpsAgent;
var keepaliveAgent = new HttpsAgent();

var options = {
    url: "https://someurl.com",
    username: 'm$',
    password: 'stinks',
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: ''
};

async.waterfall([
    function (callback){
        var type1msg = ntlm.createType1Message(options);

        httpreq.get(options.url, {
            headers:{
                'Connection' : 'keep-alive',
                'Authorization': type1msg
            },
            agent: keepaliveAgent
        }, callback);
    },

    function (res, callback){
        if(!res.headers['www-authenticate'])
            return callback(new Error('www-authenticate not found on response of second request'));

        var type2msg = ntlm.parseType2Message(res.headers['www-authenticate']);
        var type3msg = ntlm.createType3Message(type2msg, options);

        setImmediate(function() {
            httpreq.get(options.url, {
                headers:{
                    'Connection' : 'Close',
                    'Authorization': type3msg
                },
                allowRedirects: false,
                agent: keepaliveAgent
            }, callback);
        });
    }
], function (err, res) {
    if(err) return console.log(err);

    console.log(res.headers);
    console.log(res.body);
});
```

## Download binary files

```javascript
httpntlm.get({
    url: "https://someurl.com/file.xls",
    username: 'm$',
    password: 'stinks',
    workstation: 'choose.something',
    domain: '',
    binary: true
}, function (err, response) {
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    fs.writeFile("file.xls", response.body, function (err) {
        if(err) return console.log("error writing file");
        console.log("file.xls saved!");
    });
});
```
