Re: HTTP Basic Authentication

Is Apache taking over here and processing these values before they get to my app?  The example code seems to assume not...  Maybe I should just leave this to Apache anyway?

I'm trying to use the HTTP Basic Authentication to authenticate users.  I found this Stepwise article that got me started:
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/BasicAuthentication.html

But after it prompts for the login and I fill it out I don't see this info being passed to my WO app.

In Application I have:

    public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest aRequest) {

        String encodedAuth = aRequest.headerForKey("authorization");
       
        if (encodedAuth != null) {
           
            Application.log.debug( "auth: " + encodedAuth );
            NSArray loginAndPasswd = this.decodeAuthorization(encodedAuth);
            String user = (String)loginAndPasswd.objectAtIndex( 0 );
            String password = (String)loginAndPasswd.objectAtIndex( 1 );
            Application.log.debug( "user: " + user + ", pass: " + password );
     }

encodedAuth is always null.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
John
