Methods

class AuthManager

clear_cached_credentials() → None

Clear all credentials cached by manager.

use_auth(uri: Uri, auth: Auth) → None

Records that auth is to be used under uri, as though a WWW-Authenticate header had been received at that URI.

This can be used to “preload” manager’s auth cache, to avoid an extra HTTP round trip in the case where you know ahead of time that a 401 response will be returned.

This is only useful for authentication types where the initial Authorization header does not depend on any additional information from the server. (Eg, Basic or NTLM, but not Digest.)

Parameters:

• uri – the Uri under which auth is to be used

• auth – the Auth to use
