Webrick and Basic Auth

Jim Freeze

1/7/2005 9:46:00 PM

Hi

I have a directory of files that I want to share over the net
with Webrick. Basically, I have something simple now where
Webrick mounts the directory and serves up the files. Neat
and simple.

However, I have another set of files that I want to share,
but I want to have only authorized people access them.

Is there a simple way (say by adding htaccess to a directory(s))
to add authentication to a webrick mounted directory?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks

Is Webrick secure? What's precautions and gotchas should we put our
attention too? Also, how the performance?

Well, that won't do the OP any good if he isn't using Rails.

There's a sample of Webrick authentication at

Hi
Use controller (before_filter) with rubyonrails and the login generator
