And don't forget since this is just HTTP you can secure this in the
web server using anything available at that level as well.
In the world, you'll see all sorts of made up login / security schemes
for REST. Really all they do is annoy the developer trying to use your
API. The best, simplest and foolproof method is to use Basic HTTP
authentication over SSL. Basically all languages (and I'd like to hear
of one that doesn't) supports sending Basic HTTP Auth credentials. And
all decent tools command line should too (like Curl, etc.).
