Login Restfully

Rails
1

In DHH’s keynote, he alluded to doing logins with REST. Has anyone
implemented this, and if so, would you mind elaborating on how you did
it please?

Thanks in advance.

I tried it on depot application and I get the following error :frowning: (I am
using Rails 1.1.4)

22:47:18:~/work/depot > script/plugin source
http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins
Cannot find gem for Rails =1.1.2:
Install the missing gem with ‘gem install -v=1.1.2 rails’, or
change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with your desired
version.

Could you please clarify? TIA

Create a sessions model and login by 'create’ing a new session.
Logout would simply map to destroy. Also, take a look at Rick O.'s
restful auth plugin at:

According to the error message, Rails 1.1.2 is not found. Either
install it, or change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with
the desired version. I’d suggest doing a quick upgrade and changing
it to 1.1.6.

I’d use another model name than sessions, as that collides with the
ActiveRecordStore session handler.
