I'm writing a smallish web service in Ruby using Sinatra. Access to pretty much everything is controlled using http basic auth (over https in production).
There is one particular directory that I want to exclude from requiring authorization. Is there an easy way to do this?
require 'sinatra'
helpers do
def protected!
unless authorized?
response['WWW-Authenticate'] = %(Basic realm="Testing HTTP Auth")
throw(:halt, [401, "Not authorized\n"])
end
end
def authorized?
@auth ||= Rack::Auth::Basic::Request.new(request.env)
@auth.provided? && @auth.basic? && @auth.credentials && @auth.credentials == ['admin', 'admin']
end
end
before { protected! unless request.path_info == "/public" }
get('/public') { "I'm public!" }
