as a slight protection for the staging beta phase, I am using a filter
in my application_controller
before_filter :authenticate_apache
…
def authenticate_apache
if Rails.env == “production”
authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |user, pass|
[“user1”, “user2”, “user”].include?(user) &&
pass==“staging_password”
end
end
end
…
going to the root page, the authentication is requested as it should
be…
once authenticated the user is on the home page =>
then when the user request another page by clicking on the menu, the
authentication is requested another time
=> www.mydomain.com/pages/area1
then for any subsequent page request, the authentication is not
anymore requested
any idea why this is running twice ? thanks fro any clue
