htpasswd

How to generate apache password with ruby? I have to generate from ruby
code the same password like htpasswd2 -m make. In other words: from ruby
on rails application I have to generate a password, which will be used
not only for login, but also to generate apache config files (e.g.
password files for subversion) - so the password must be exactly the
same.
Can someone help me?
Sorry for my english...

A password is typically a one-way encryption, such as a hash or CRC
algorithm. If you looked up which one htpasswd2 uses, you could then
get a Ruby library that does it.

Alternately, try some variation of

password = `htpasswd2 -m #{cleartext}`

or system(). That `` notation calls a command line for you.

Try out the htauth gem and see if it works for you:

gem install htauth

the webrick library, which is included with ruby, has tools for
generating and manipulating htpasswd files - the docs are slim but the
code is quite easy to read

start with

webrick/httpauth/htpasswd.rb

cheers.
