 == HTTP Basic Authentication ==
 
-Rails comes with built-in link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication[HTTP Basic authentication]. This is an authentication scheme that is supported by the majority of browsers and other HTTP clients. As an example, we will create an administration section which will only be available by entering a username and a password into the browser's HTTP Basic dialog window. Using the built-in authentication is quite easy and only requires you to use one method, link:http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Basic/ControllerMethods.html#M000610[authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic].

 == Parameter filtering ==
 
-Rails keeps a log file for each environment (development, test and production) in the "log" folder. These are extremely useful when debugging what's actually going on in your application, but in a live application you may not want every bit of information to be stored in the log file. The link:http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000837[filter_parameter_logging] method can be used to filter out sensitive information from the log. It works by replacing certain values in the `params` hash with "[FILTERED]" as they are written to the log. As an example, let's see how to filter all parameters with keys that include "password":

-If you want to do something a bit more elaborate when catching errors, you can use link::http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Rescue/ClassMethods.html#M000620[rescue_from], which handles exceptions of a certain type (or multiple types) in an entire controller and its subclasses. When an exception occurs which is caught by a rescue_from directive, the exception object is passed to the handler. The handler can be a method or a Proc object passed to the `:with` option. You can also use a block directly instead of an explicit Proc object.
