Digest authorization?

[wirephoto]

It seems to support basic authorization but is failing with digest auth. One of my cameras won't do basic.

I'm not a programmer, but I can read code a little. This seems to rely on the node "http" module, which is basic only. Would it be trivial to change it over to "request" module, which seems to support digest authorization? I may try to myself, but it will take me a while since I seem to be better at reading code than creating it.

Thanks--this is a great help. I don't like allowing my cheap cameras to speak directly to the outside world. This helps me isolate them.

hi, @wirephoto
You can use this branch https://github.com/legege/node-mjpeg-proxy, and do this to modify the properties of mjpegOptions:

router.get('/',(req, res, next)=> {
    const proxy=new MjpegProxy("http://login.mydomain.com");
    proxy.mjpegOptions.username = 'neslxzhen';
    proxy.mjpegOptions.password = 'my_password';
    proxy.proxyRequest(req,res);
});

although this issue is very old, I still put the answer here, hoping to help visitors.
