Hi !
Thanks a lot for your reply.
However, I think I was asking something a little different. I can
understand how you describe the use of before_ function for authorization.
My situation is that I have a controller where some actions require
authorization while others do not.
I think that the docs and the tutorial suggest that the way this gets
handled is that only those actions that have* three arguments* - such as
hello('GET',[],_) invoke the before_ function, while the actions with *two
arguments* such as hello('GET',[]) do not call the before_ function. Does
it not work like that?
Look at this code:
before_(_,_,_)->
{redirect,"http://yahoo.com"}.
hello('GET',[])->
{output,"ok"}.
I have a hello('GET',[]) with *two arguments. *Why should what I write in
before_ even matter at all (since hello has only two arguments and not
three)?
And yet when I open the hello action it redirects me to yahoo.com. This is
what confuses me. Is this supposed to happen like this?
Thanks,
Jitin
