go-hawk

Package hawk provides a quick and easy way to send HTTP requests with
Hawk authentication.

Installation

go get -u gitlab.com/triumvir/nxal

Getting Started

Easiest is to use the provided client:

import (
    "crypto"
    hawk "gitlab.com/tdely/go-hawk"
    "net/http"
    "strings"
)
c := &http.Client{}
hc := hawk.NewClient("your-hawk-id", []byte("secret"), crypto.SHA256, 6)
body := strings.NewReader("Hello world!")
req, err := hc.NewRequest("POST", "https://example.com/greeting", body, "text/plain", "some-app-ext-data")
resp, err := c.Do(req)
// Check validity of response
valid := hc.ValidateResponse(*resp)

But if you want to not do payload verification or want to make life harder:

import (
    "crypto"
    hawk "gitlab.com/tdely/go-hawk"
    "net/http"
    "strings"
    "time"
)
c := &http.Client{}
body := strings.NewReader("Hello world!")
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://example.com/greeting", body)
hd := hawk.Details{
    Algorithm:   crypto.SHA256,
    Host:        "example.com",
    Port:        "443",
    URI:         "/greeting",
    ContentType: "plain/text",
    Content:     []byte("Hello world!"),
    Method:      "POST",
    Ext:         "some-app-ext-data"}
hd.Timestamp = time.Now().Unix()
hd.Nonce = hawk.NewNonce(6)
h, _ := hd.Create()
// h.Validate()
h.Finalize([]("secret"))
auth := h.GetAuthorization("your-hawk-id")
req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "plain/text")
req.Header.Add("Authorization", auth)
resp, err := c.Do(req)
// valid := h.ValidateResponse([]byte("justtesting"), *resp)
