NAME

       LWP::Authen::Wsse - Library for enabling X-WSSE authentication in LWP

VERSION

       This document describes version 0.05 of LWP::Authen::Wsse, released December 27, 2005.

SYNOPSIS

	   use LWP::UserAgent;
	   use HTTP::Request::Common;
	   my $url = 'http://www.example.org/protected_page.html';

	   # Set up the WSSE client
	   my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	   $ua->credentials('example.org', '', 'username', 'password');

	   $request = GET $url;
	   print "--Performing request now...-----------
";
	   $response = $ua->request($request);
	   print "--Done with request-------------------
";

	   if ($response->is_success) {
	       print "It worked!->", $response->code, "
";
	   }
	   else {
	       print "It didn't work!->", $response->code, "
";
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       "LWP::Authen::Wsse" allows LWP to authenticate against servers that are using the "X-WSSE" authentication scheme, as required by the Atom
       Authentication API.

       The module is used indirectly through LWP, rather than including it directly in your code.  The LWP system will invoke the WSSE
       authentication when it encounters the authentication scheme while attempting to retrieve a URL from a server.

       You also need to set the credentials on the UserAgent object like this:

	  $ua->credentials('www.company.com:80', '', "username", "password");

       Alternatively, you may also subclass LWP::UserAgent and override the "get_basic_credentials()" method.  See LWP::UserAgent for more
       details.
