ESNI Auth Plugin for HTTPie

An HTTPie auth plugin to support ESNI (aka SCTE-224) request signing. This allows you to use the http utility to easily make signed requests against a compliant server which checks for request signatures.

Usage

First, install HTTPie and the plugin:

# By default on Mac, you'll need to grab `pip` first. This is a one-time task
# you run on a new Mac then immediately forget about!
sudo easy_install pip

# Now install HTTPie and our plugin
sudo pip install httpie httpie-esni-auth

Then you can start making requests!

# Local testing against an example ESNI Service on port 8080
http -A esni -a 'user:pass' post :8080/example/audience/test

# Set an old date header that should fail
http -A esni -a 'user:pass' post :8080/example/audience/test Date:'Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:32:15 GMT'

# Upload file to a production host
http -A esni -a 'user:pass' post https://example.com/example/audience/test Content-Type:application/xml <audience.xml

Options

In order to see the request going out, use the standard -v option to HTTPie. Aside from that, there are some configurable values you can set in environment variables:

Name Description
VERBOSE Extra output from the signer, if set
ESNI_SCOPE Sets the auth scope, default is esni
ESNI_SERVICE_NAME Sets the service name, default is esni

Example:

VERBOSE=1 http -A esni -a 'user:pass' post :8080/...
