+=== Basic Authentication
0
+
0
+All methods that involve HTTP requests now support HTTP Basic Authentication.  Authentication credentials are passed
0
+as :user and :pass parameters to the methods that invoke the request. For example you can load a feed with HTTP Basic Authentication using:
0
+
0
+  Atom::Feed.load_entry(URI.parse("http://example.org/feed.atom"), :user => 'username', :pass => 'password')
0
+
0
+Likewise all the Atom Pub methods support similar parameters, for example you can publish an Entry to a Feed with authentication
0
+using:
0
+
0
+  feed.publish(entry, :user => 'username', :pass => 'password')
0
+
0
+Or destroy an entry with:
0
+
0
+  entry.destroy!(:user => 'username', :pass => 'password')
0
+
0
+rAtom doesn't store these credentials anywhere within the object model so you will need to pass them as arguments to every
0
+method call that requires them.  This might be a bit of a pain but it does make things simpler and it means that I'm not responsible
0
+for protecting your credentials, although if you are using HTTP Basic Authentication there is a good chance your credentials aren't
0
+very well protected anyway.
