rest http basic authorization with ruby

Question

resource = RestClient::Resource.new('http://protected/resource', 'user', 'pass')

I have seen the above link, when i am serchng for http basic authentication with ruby. But my question is how to retreive and decode this user and pass for the login purpose?

Sorry, what? "Retrieve and decode" the username and password? If you do not have the username and password, you're not supposed to access the protected resource in the first place...?! — deceze

If you're going to implement the server end with Rails, http_basic_authenticate_with is what you are looking for. See ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Basic
