    # Makes it dead easy to do HTTP Basic authentication.
    #
    # Simple Basic example:
    #
    #   class PostsController < ApplicationController
    #     USER_NAME, PASSWORD = "dhh", "secret"
    #
    #     before_filter :authenticate, :except => [ :index ]
    #
    #     def index
    #       render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
    #     end
    #
    #     def edit
    #       render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
    #     end
    #
    #     private
    #       def authenticate
    #         authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user_name, password|
    #           user_name == USER_NAME && password == PASSWORD
    #         end
    #       end
    #   end
    #
    #
    # Here is a more advanced Basic example where only Atom feeds and the XML API is protected by HTTP authentication,
    # the regular HTML interface is protected by a session approach:
    #
    #   class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    #     before_filter :set_account, :authenticate
    #
    #     protected
    #       def set_account
    #         @account = Account.find_by_url_name(request.subdomains.first)
    #       end
    #
    #       def authenticate
    #         case request.format
    #         when Mime::XML, Mime::ATOM
    #           if user = authenticate_with_http_basic { |u, p| @account.users.authenticate(u, p) }
    #             @current_user = user
    #           else
    #             request_http_basic_authentication
    #           end
    #         else
    #           if session_authenticated?
    #             @current_user = @account.users.find(session[:authenticated][:user_id])
    #           else
    #             redirect_to(login_url) and return false
    #           end
    #         end
    #       end
    #   end
    #
    # In your integration tests, you can do something like this:
    #
    #   def test_access_granted_from_xml
    #     get(
    #       "/notes/1.xml", nil,
    #       :authorization => ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic.encode_credentials(users(:dhh).name, users(:dhh).password)
    #     )
    #
    #     assert_equal 200, status
    #   end
    #
    # Simple Digest example:
    #
    #   require 'digest/md5'
    #   class PostsController < ApplicationController
    #     REALM = "SuperSecret"
    #     USERS = {"dhh" => "secret", #plain text password
    #              "dap" => Digest:MD5::hexdigest(["dap",REALM,"secret"].join(":"))  #ha1 digest password
    #
    #     before_filter :authenticate, :except => [:index]
    #
    #     def index
    #       render :text => "Everyone can see me!"
    #     end
    #
    #     def edit
    #       render :text => "I'm only accessible if you know the password"
    #     end
    #
    #     private
    #       def authenticate
    #         authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest(REALM) do |username|
    #           USERS[username]
    #         end
    #       end
    #   end
    #
    # NOTE: The +authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest+ block must return the user's password or the ha1 digest hash so the framework can appropriately
    #       hash to check the user's credentials. Returning +nil+ will cause authentication to fail.
    #       Storing the ha1 hash: MD5(username:realm:password), is better than storing a plain password. If
    #       the password file or database is compromised, the attacker would be able to use the ha1 hash to
    #       authenticate as the user at this +realm+, but would not have the user's password to try using at
    #       other sites.
    #
    # On shared hosts, Apache sometimes doesn't pass authentication headers to
    # FCGI instances. If your environment matches this description and you cannot
    # authenticate, try this rule in your Apache setup:
    #
    #   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

      # Uses an MD5 digest based on time to generate a value to be used only once.
      #
      # A server-specified data string which should be uniquely generated each time a 401 response is made.
      # It is recommended that this string be base64 or hexadecimal data.
      # Specifically, since the string is passed in the header lines as a quoted string, the double-quote character is not allowed.
      #
      # The contents of the nonce are implementation dependent.
      # The quality of the implementation depends on a good choice.
      # A nonce might, for example, be constructed as the base 64 encoding of
      #
      # => time-stamp H(time-stamp ":" ETag ":" private-key)
      #
      # where time-stamp is a server-generated time or other non-repeating value,
      # ETag is the value of the HTTP ETag header associated with the requested entity,
      # and private-key is data known only to the server.
      # With a nonce of this form a server would recalculate the hash portion after receiving the client authentication header and
      # reject the request if it did not match the nonce from that header or
      # if the time-stamp value is not recent enough. In this way the server can limit the time of the nonce's validity.
      # The inclusion of the ETag prevents a replay request for an updated version of the resource.
      # (Note: including the IP address of the client in the nonce would appear to offer the server the ability
      # to limit the reuse of the nonce to the same client that originally got it.
      # However, that would break proxy farms, where requests from a single user often go through different proxies in the farm.
      # Also, IP address spoofing is not that hard.)
      #
      # An implementation might choose not to accept a previously used nonce or a previously used digest, in order to
      # protect against a replay attack. Or, an implementation might choose to use one-time nonces or digests for
      # POST or PUT requests and a time-stamp for GET requests. For more details on the issues involved see Section 4
      # of this document.
      #
      # The nonce is opaque to the client. Composed of Time, and hash of Time with secret
      # key from the Rails session secret generated upon creation of project. Ensures
      # the time cannot be modified by client.
      def nonce(secret_key, time = Time.now)
        t = time.to_i
        hashed = [t, secret_key]
        digest = ::Digest::MD5.hexdigest(hashed.join(":"))
        ActiveSupport::Base64.encode64("#{t}:#{digest}").gsub("\n", '')
      end

      # Might want a shorter timeout depending on whether the request
      # is a PUT or POST, and if client is browser or web service.
      # Can be much shorter if the Stale directive is implemented. This would
      # allow a user to use new nonce without prompting user again for their
      # username and password.
