Improves ActiveResource HTTP Basic Auth Support
The purpose of this gem is to provide better http auth basic support into ActiveResource. Encoding it in the url makes me gag and it should make you gag too.
Usage:
require 'activeresource_auth'
class MyResource
site = "http://remote.com"
auth_as "myuser", "mypass"
end
