I can’t understand why authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic keeps
failing even though I am entering the correct info.
If I try to access /admin/items/new, I enter the correct info but I
keep getting prompted.
The strange part is that when I cancel out, I get “HTTP Basic: Acce”.
Here’s the controllers:
class Admin::BaseController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate
def authenticate
authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |name, pass|
name == ‘h’ && pass == ‘x’
end
end
end
class Admin::ItemsController < Admin::BaseController
def new
@item = Item.new
@category = ‘New Item’
@categories = Category.find :all, :order=>‘name’
end
#etc…
end
The log:
