I'm getting a type mismatch, so I assume that's what you mean by
"dispatching code". It almost looks like you're mixing up object and class
apply semantics, since your call looks like
case r @ Req("badger" :: Nil, "", _) => new SimpleHttpBasicAuth(r){
PlainTextResponse("DFGDF")
}
The first problem is that the syntax you're using for SimpleHttpBasicAuth is
defining a new anonymous class, and it's not clear to me that that's what
you want. The second problem is that in your SimpleHttpBasicAuth class you
are asking for the request in the constructor *and* in the apply method
inherited from the HttpBasicAuthentication, so this syntax isn't going to
call apply, which *does* appear to be what you want. I'm not sure that
instantiating a new class for each request is the best approach. If you
don't mind me tossing in my two cents, here's how I might implement this:
trait HttpAuth {
type PasswordLookup = (String) => String
def apply(req : Req, realm : String, lookup : PasswordLookup)(success: =>
LiftResponse) : () => Can[LiftResponse]
}
object SimpleHttpAuth extends HttpAuth {
override apply(...)(...) = () => {
// check to see if auth was even sent
// compare realms
// extract user, compare sent password against lookup
}
}
object DigestHttpAuth extends HttpAuth {
...
}
Just a rough idea, but from what I gather there's no need to use anything
other than static methods here since you really don't need to keep state
around (technically we need to remember recent nonces for Digest auth, but
that can easily be global). In any case, it looks interesting so far.
