How do I do basic authentication with RestClient?
The easiest way is to embed the details in the URL:
RestClient.get "http://username:password@example.com"
Here is an example of working code where I support optional basicauth but don't require the user and password be embedded in the URL:
def get_collection(path) response = RestClient::Request.new( :method => :get, :url => "#{@my_url}/#{path}", :user => @my_user, :password => @my_pass, :headers => { :accept => :json, :content_type => :json } ).execute results = JSON.parse(response.to_str)endDo note if @my_user and @mypass are not instantiated, it works fine without basicauth.
From the source it looks like you can just specify user and password as part of your request object.
Have you tried something like:
r = Request.new({:user => "username", :password => "password"})Also if you look down in the Shell section of the ReadMe it has an example of specifying it as part of restshell.
$ restclient https://example.com user pass>> delete '/private/resource'
