Htpasswd accesses apache-compatible password files. Passwords are matched to a realm where they are valid. For security, the path for a password database should be stored outside of the paths available to the HTTP server.

Htpasswd is intended for use with WEBrick::HTTPAuth::BasicAuth.

To create an Htpasswd database with a single user:

htpasswd = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::Htpasswd.new 'my_password_file'
htpasswd.set_passwd 'my realm', 'username', 'password'
htpasswd.flush

Removes a password from the database for user in realm.

# File lib/webrick/httpauth/htpasswd.rb, line 107
def delete_passwd(realm, user)
  @passwd.delete(user)
end
each()

Iterate passwords in the database.

def each # :yields: [user, password]
  @passwd.keys.sort.each{|user|
    yield([user, @passwd[user]])
  }
end
flush(output=nil)

Flush the password database. If output is given the database will be written there instead of to the original path.

# File lib/webrick/httpauth/htpasswd.rb, line 76
def flush(output=nil)
  output ||= @path
  tmp = Tempfile.new("htpasswd", File::dirname(output))
  begin
    each{|item| tmp.puts(item.join(":")) }
    tmp.close
    File::rename(tmp.path, output)
  rescue
    tmp.close(true)
  end
end
get_passwd(realm, user, reload_db)

Retrieves a password from the database for user in realm. If reload_db is true the database will be reloaded first.

# File lib/webrick/httpauth/htpasswd.rb, line 92
def get_passwd(realm, user, reload_db)
  reload() if reload_db

reload()

Reload passwords from the database
