+module ActionController
+ module HttpAuthentication
+ # 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
+ #
+ #
+ # 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]
