com.lutris.http
Class BasicAuth  

java.lang.Object
  com.lutris.http.BasicAuth

---

public class BasicAuth

extends java.lang.Object

Methods to be used to implement the HTTP Basic Auth authorization method. This is the standard username/password mechanism in use all over the web.

Note: the username and password are sent over the net base64 encoded, which is practically clear text. So this method is no more secure than the communication channel being used.

Usage:
When a request comes in, before responding to it, call getAuthentication(). It will return the username and password that was sent along with the request. If no authorization was sent, null is returned. The caller is then responsible for deciding if the username and password are valid.

If the caller decides that the authorization is not sufficient, a PageUnauthorizedException should be thrown.

If you are writing a LBS application, the recommended place to put this processing is in your Application's requestPreprocessor() function. That function is called for every request, before the presentation objects are called.
