Sorry for replying twice... caught this after I sent the first one. All of your error classes are in ./lib/htpasswd/class_methods.rb:
class Error < StandardError; end class HeaderNotFound < Error; end class UnknownSchemeError < Error; end class NotAuthorizedError < Error; end class ConfigurationError < Error; end class UnknownAccessControl < ConfigurationError; end class AuthSchemesNotDefined < ConfigurationError; end class IncorrectPassword < NotAuthorizedError; end class UnknownUserAccount < NotAuthorizedError; end There's your two classes at the bottom. I would suggest rescuing Htpasswd::NotAuthorizedError, so that you catch both incorrect passwords and unknown accounts. That would be a more secure way to go, so you don't inadvertently reveal which user accounts are valid.
