Thanks for sharing. Perhaps your split function is a bit overkill if you just need to separate the authentication scheme from the credential. Maybe a simple match might suffice, e.g.: local aScheme, aCredential = aHeader:match( '(%S+)%s(%S+)' ) Ditto for username and password: local aUser, aPassword = base64( aCredential ):match( '(.*):(.*)' ) FWIW, here is Nanoki's auuthentication routine: http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/HTTPExtra.lua#L98 _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list Kepler-Project@lists.luaforge.net http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
