+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
+ #
+ # Simple Digest example:
+ #
+ # class PostsController < ApplicationController
+ # USERS = {"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_digest(realm) do |username|
+ # USERS[username]
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # NOTE: The +authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest+ block must return the user's password so the framework can appropriately
+ # hash it to check the user's credentials. Returning +nil+ will cause authentication to fail.
+ #
+ # 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.
