Subject: [ruby-talk:9478] Re: Ruby implementation of basic auth http  client

Here's some code I've been expeimenting with:

require 'net/http'
def fetch(loc, port, url)
z=nil
   h=Net::HTTP.new(loc,port)
   begin
     resp, data = h.get(url,z)
     puts "Code = #{resp.code} #{resp.message}"
     resp.each {|key, val| printf "%-14s = %-40.40s\n", key, val}
     p data
   rescue Net::ProtoFatalError => detail
     head = detail.data
     head.each {|key,val| puts "#{key}    #{val}"}
     if head.code=="404"
         puts "File not Found"
     elsif head.code=="401"
         print "Authorization Required\n User name?"
         gets
         uname=$_.chomp
         print "Password?"
         gets
         pwd=$_.chomp
         unpwd=uname + ":" + pwd
         puts unpwd
         hval=[unpwd].pack("m")
         z={'Authorization' => 'Basic ' + hval}
         retry
     end
   rescue SystemCallError
         puts "Can't connect"
   end
end
   fetch('loc', port, '/'url)
