Note the 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. # # 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 |user_name| # Users[user_name] # 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.

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.
