I have a php file test.php which created HTTP Auth.
$valid_passwords = array ("test" => "test123");
$valid_users = array_keys($valid_passwords);
$user = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$pass = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];
$validated = (in_array($user, $valid_users)) && ($pass == $valid_passwords[$user]);
if (!$validated) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die ("Not authorized");
}
// If arrives here, is a valid user.
echo "<p>Welcome $user.</p>";
echo "<p>Congratulation, you are into the system.</p>";
}
Now I want to visit that test.php and send a get request there from a rails platform, I have tried this:
url = 'http://url/test.php'
uri = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path,'Authorization' => "test test123")
response = http.request(request)
render :text => response.body
It doesn't work, says unauthorized. I can do changes in PHP as well as Rails, I just need a secure way to make http requests between the two.
