Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

HTTP Digest Header Library (@digitalbazaar/http-digest-header)

Build status

JavaScript library (Node.js and browser) for creating and verifying Digest headers for HTTP Signatures

Table of Contents

Background

Originally, this library was implemented based on the Digest header as mentioned in HTTP Signatures IETF draft.

Since then, the Digest header got its own standards-track spec, at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-digest-headers.

TODO: Update library in accordance with the new digest spec.

This is a library specifically for creating and verifying the Digest: header, for use with HTTP Signatures and similar mechanisms.

This is a standalone separate library from http-digest-header so as not to introduce dependencies on cryptographic libraries to that lib.

It's intended to be isomorphic (for use both in the browser and server-side, with Node.js).

Install

  • Browsers and Node.js 14+ supported.
  • Web Crypto API required. Older browsers and Node.js 14 must use a polyfill.

To install from npm:

npm install @digitalbazaar/http-digest-header

To install locally (for development):

git clone https://github.com/digitalbazaar/http-digest-header.git
cd http-digest-header
npm install

Usage

import * as httpDigest from '@digitalbazaar/http-digest-header';

const data = `{"hello": "world"}`;

const headerValue = await httpDigest.
    createHeaderValue({data, algorithm: 'sha256', useMultihash: false});
// -> SHA-256=X48E9qOokqqrvdts8nOJRJN3OWDUoyWxBf7kbu9DBPE=

const dataToVerify1 = `{"hello": "world"}`;
const dataToVerify2 = `{"hello": "planet earth"}`;

const verifyResult = await httpDigest.verifyHeaderValue({data: dataToVerify1, headerValue});
// -> { verified: true }
const verifyResult = await httpDigest.verifyHeaderValue({data: dataToVerify2, headerValue});
// -> { verified: false }
