Authlogic Haapi (Http Auth API)

Authlogic Haapi Adds support for HTTP Authentication with an API key instead of username password. You can use it with Active Resource like so:

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'activeresource'

  API_KEY= 'YourApiKeyHere'
  URL = 'example.com'

  class Api < ActiveResource::Base
    self.site = URL
    self.user = API_KEY
  end

  class User < Api
  end

  users = User.find(:all)
