Basic http authentication

Hi,
I used code from

but added it to Application controller to apply to the whole
application
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery

before_filter :authenticate

protected
def authenticate
puts 'authenticating… ’
authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
username == “foo” && password == “bar”
end
end
end

that does not seem to work… any ideas why?
