Rails - Jun 2008 - Help with error - uninitialized constant AuthenticatedSystem::Base64

I am using restful_Authentication plugin combined with the built-in
http_basic authentication Rails 2.0.2

The following code in my controller seemed to work fine,



   1. before_filter :authenticate
   2.
   3. def authenticate
   4.       case request.format
   5.       when Mime::XML, Mime::ATOM
   6.             if user = authenticate_with_http_basic { |name,
pass| User.authenticate(name, pass) }
   7.                         @current_user = user
   8.             else
   9.                         request_http_basic_authentication
  10.             end
  11.       else
  12.             login_required if action_name != ''index''
  13.             return true
  14.       end
  15.   end

Then I started seeing this error whenever I accessed any action in my
controller
and also while accessing the login, logout actions as well.
I can''t seem to get rid of it.

NameError in MyController#index

uninitialized constant AuthenticatedSystem::Base64

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Thanks

The answer to your question is beyond my skill level. but I did find
this:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/7091
and
http://pastie.org/pastes/216469

I think you are missing a require ''base64'' in
HttpAuthentication

good luck

I looked at this some more.
Reading the files named HttpAuthentication,rb in both 2.0.2 and 2.1
rails stacks,
the 2.0.2 file contains require ''base64'' and the 2.1 does not.

I don''t know why. I assume it was moved upstream or downstream.

Did this problem start about the time you installed 2.1? seems
something is out of sync

1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_controller/HttpAuthentication,rb

Good Luck

The base64 library is deprecated (and remove in 1.9), hence the  
removal of the dependency in 2.1 ( use pack/unpack with the m*  
directive). Seems like it''s also gone in ruby 1.8.7 (which backported  
a lot of the stdlib changes from 1.9).
Don''t run rails 2.0.2 on ruby 1.8.7. It''s not ready for it
(2.1 is)
