Yo all,
All I want to accomplish at this moment in time is simple password
protection around a rails application in development using WEBrick on
a custom port. Just one account would be fine.
I have done an extensive Google hunt for an example, but I all find
are code chunks for starting WEBrick such as:
realm = "Gnome realm"
start_webrick {|server|
htpasswd = HTTPAuth::Htpasswd.new(/tmp/gnome.htpasswd)
authenticator = HTTPAuth::BasicAuth.new(
:UserDb => htpasswd
:Realm => realm
)
server.mount_proc(/htpasswd_auth) {|req resp|
authenticator.authenticate(req resp)
resp.body = "You are authenticated to see the super secret
datan"
}
}
Do I replace the script/server file with something like this? If
there an actual example of working with rails, not just WEBrick as a
standalone server, someone can point me to?

Or maybe this: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateWithHTTP The point was that I do not want to deal with all of this for the simple thing of preventing anyone from looking at our development versions, like I could do in 5 seconds with .htaccess in Apache. We already have login and password access to management areas, and like WEBrick and want to continue using it for development. Is there really no way to hook in basic HTTP authentication *completely separate from the application itself* for rails out of the box? --ejw Eric Woodward Email: ejw@statewood.com On 24-Mar-06, at 3:20 PM, GravyFace wrote:> On 3/24/06, Eric Woodward <ejw@statewood.com> wrote: > >> All I want to accomplish at this moment in time is simple password >> protection around a rails application in development using WEBrick on >> a custom port.
