13:43 pagioss hi guys how can i send an authentication using a REST POST/GET request?
13:43 pagioss and should i send it everytime with the url?
13:52 trygvis http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7235
13:52 trygvis there are two methods that everyone supports; basic and digest. and then there are some others that is also useful, but not that universally supported like oauth
14:04 pagioss trygvis: the browser does by default a base64 on any html included in the page and sends it in the authentication http header?
14:04 pagioss or should i inform the browser to do that base64 conversion
14:13 trygvis when the server responds with 401 and the www-authenticate header, the browser will automatically pop up a form asking for username and password
14:14 trygvis given than the header includes at least one of the basic and digest methods
14:47 pdurbin pagioss: some chatter about auth here too if you're interested: http://irclog.greptilian.com/rest/2014-06-24#i_69697
14:52 trygvis two of the three redmine ways is junk, the useful one is .. http authentication
15:01 pdurbin trygvis: so you don't like that redmine also lets you pass in an API key as a "key" parameter or as a "X-Redmine-API-Key" HTTP header
