DEPRECATED

This module is deprecated by Catalyst::Authentication::HTTP::proxy, please do not use this code in new applications.

DESCRIPTION

This moduule lets you use HTTP Proxy authentication with Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication.

Currently this module only supports the Basic scheme, but upon request Digest will also be added. Patches welcome!

CONFIG

This module reads config from $c->config->{authentication}{http_proxy}. The following settings are supported:

url

Required. A url protected with basic authentication to authenticate against.

store

To specify what store to use. will use the default store if not set.

METHODS

authorization_required

Tries to authenticate_http_proxy, and if that fails calls authorization_required_response and detaches the current action call stack.

authenticate_http_proxy

Looks inside $c->request->headers and processes the basic (badly named) authorization header. Then authenticates this against the provided url.

authorization_required_response

Sets $c->response to the correct status code, and adds the correct header to demand authentication data from the user agent.
