JWTAuth (JSON Web Tokens) auth plugin for HTTPie.

Installation

  • Latest stable version:
$ pip install -U httpie-jwt-auth
  • Latest developing version:
$ pip install -U https://github.com/teracyhq/httpie-jwt-auth/archive/develop.zip

Supported HTTPie Version

  • httpie-jwt-auth (version >= 0.4.0) supports HTTPie (version >= 1.0.0)
  • httpie-jwt-auth (version > 0.2.1) supports HTTPie (version >= 0.9.7)
  • httpie-jwt-auth (version <= 0.2.1) supports HTTPie (version >= 0.9.2)

Usage

  • Normal:

    $ http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h
    
    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Accept: */*
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
    Connection: keep-alive
    Host: example.org
    User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7
  • By default, the Bearer prefix auth token is used, you can choose another prefix:

    $ JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=JWT http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h
  • Also by default, the Authorization auth header is used, but you can choose another one:

    $ JWT_AUTH_HEADER=X-Foobar-Authorization http --auth-type=jwt --auth="<token>" example.org -h
  • Sometimes you don't need to expose the JWT token on the command line, you can use the environment variable:

    $ export JWT_AUTH_TOKEN=secret

    And it should work:

    $ http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt -v
    
    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Accept: */*
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    Authorization: Bearer secret
    Connection: keep-alive
    Host: teracy.com
    User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

You can combine the usage whatever you like for your cases.

Developing

We use Docker workflow for development now. To start developing:

$ cd ~/teracy-dev/workspace
$ git clone <your_forked_repo>
$ cd httpie-jwt-auth
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:teracyhq/httpie-jwt-auth.git
  • SSH into the VM to run commands as following:
$ cd ~/teracy-dev
$ vagrant ssh
$ ws
$ cd httpie-jwt-auth
$ docker-compose up # to test all the supported httpie versions with the most used Python version
$ docker-compose up httpie_latest # to test with the latest httpie version with the most used Python version
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.py36.yml up # to test all the supported httpie versions with Python 3.6
  • Register your account at https://travis-ci.org and enable httpie-jwt-auth repo

    • DOCKER_USER for the user or organization Docker namespace
    • DOCKER_USERNAME for the username of the Docker Hub
    • DOCKER_PASSWORD for the password of the Docker Hub
    • IMG_REPO for the docker repo on your DOCKER_USER account

FAQs

  1. How to load JWT token from a file?

    $ http --auth-type=jwt --auth="$(cat mytoken.txt)" example.org

    See: #4

  2. How to use auth prefix other than default Bearer, for example Token_Prefix instead?

    You could use environment variable to specify JWT_AUTH_PREFIX for permanent prefix usage:

    $ export JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=Token_Prefix

    and it should work:

    $ http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt --auth="abc" -v
    
    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Accept: */*
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
    Connection: keep-alive
    Host: teracy.com
    User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7

    or for one time usage only with the specified jwt auth prefix:

    $ JWT_AUTH_PREFIX=Token_Prefix http teracy.com --auth-type=jwt --auth="abc" -v
    
    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Accept: */*
    Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
    Authorization: Token_Prefix abc
    Connection: keep-alive
    Host: teracy.com
    User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.7
