VERSION

    version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

      use Parse::WWWAuthenticate qw(parse_wwwa);
      
      my $header = 'Basic realm="test"';

      use Parse::WWWAuthenticate qw(parse_wwwa);
      
      my $ua       = LWP::UserAgent->new;
      my $response = $ua->get('http://some.domain.example');
      my $header   = $response->header('WWW-Authenticate');
      
      my @challenges = parse_wwwa( $header );
      for my $challenge ( @challenges ) {
          print "Try to use $challenge->{name}...\n";
      }
