Subject: Digest Authentication in Rack

Hello all,

Has anyone been able to figure out how to use the digest authentication
provided in Rack?  I tried searching the web and tried reading Rack's
documentation, but still haven't had any success.  The
Rack::Auth::Digest::MD5 class has the following documentation:

# Rack::Auth::Digest::MD5 implements the MD5 algorithm version of
# HTTP Digest Authentication, as per RFC 2617.
#
# Initialize with the [Rack] application that you want protecting,
# and a block that looks up a plaintext password for a given username.
#
# +opaque+ needs to be set to a constant base64/hexadecimal string.

So, I tried the following:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

get '/admin' do
  Rack::Auth::Digest::MD5.new(self) do |u,p|
    u == 'foo' && p == 'bar'
  end
  "Authorized!"
end

However, I was never asked for my credentials...

So, has anyone had the chance to get this working?
