ben, I am going to have to put this up on a pastie or something, since wordpress keeps messing with the formatting of certain entities mainly > and &. Just remove the semi colon and move on.

This doesn’t work for me

$ ruby privatestuff.rb
privatestuff.rb:1:in `require’: ./authorization.rb:9: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ (SyntaxError)
header ‘WWW-Authenticate’ =>; %(Basic realm=”#{realm}”)
^ from privatestuff.rb:1
//
on ubuntu 8.04, ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i486-linux]

I’m a bit confused, how can those elements not be in a string?

Also, the first line of unauthorized! is giving me problems.

I’d extract the credentials array into a separate method in the module. That way it can be overridden in the helpers block to allow people to include the module without the need to modify it :)
