Rails - Dec 2007 - why is authenticate_with_http_basic undefined?

Hi,

i used the rick olson''s restful_authentication plugin

rails 1.2.6

i wanted to check for authenticated user so i wrote this in my
application.rb

# Filters
  before_filter :authenticate

  # Sets @authenticated_user if the user provides valid
  # credentials. May be used to deny access or customise the view
  def authenticate
    @authenticated_user = nil
    authenticate_with_http_basic do |user, pass|

      @authenticated_user = User.authenticate(user, pass)
    end

    return true
  end

#Filter for actions that _require_ authentication. Unless client
authenticated
  # as some user, takes over the request and sends a response code of
401.
  def must_authenticate
    if @authenticated_user && (@user_is_viewing_themselves != false)
      return true
    else
      request_http_basic_authentication
      return false
    end
  end

I get a NOMETHODERROR

undefined method `request_http_basic_authentication'' for
#<OrdersController:0x478cc5c>

when i tried this url
http://localhost:3001/v1/users/permalink_for_user_1/orders

if i remove the filter , etc i can use this link which is of course
bad cause i also can see teh data when i am not the authenticated
user.

Please help.

Thank you

I''m pretty sure that authenticate_with_http_basic is a rails 2.0
feature.

Check the docs/release notes...
