Testing HTTP Authentication

If you ever need to test HTTP Authentication in your functional tests, here is how you do it:

1

def test_http_auth
  @request.env['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] = ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic.encode_credentials("quentin", "password")
  get :show, :id => @foobar.id

  assert_response :success
end

This is much like testing SSL.
