Authlogic Haapi (Http Auth API)

Authlogic Haapi Adds support for HTTP Authentication with an API key instead of username password. You can use it with Active Resource like so:

require 'rubygems'
require 'activeresource'

API_KEY= 'YourApiKeyHere'
URL = 'example.com'

class Api < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site = URL
  self.user = API_KEY
end

class User < Api
end

users = User.find(:all)
