Since http://wota.jp/svn/rails/plugins/branches/stable/htpasswd/lib/htpasswd/class_methods.rb is rescuing Htpasswd::Error => error around line 70, i overrode the htpasswd_authorize method by doing the following: - Created lib/hacks/htpasswd_hack.rb - Dropped the following into that file: module Htpasswd protected def htpasswd_authorize logger.debug "Htpasswd is enabled with %s" % htpasswd_options.inspect username = Auths.scheme(self).authorize(htpasswd_acls) logger.debug "Htpasswd authorize user '%s'" % username @htpasswd_authorized_username = username return true rescue Htpasswd::Error => error logger.debug "Htpasswd error(%s): %s" % [error.class, error.message] strongest_auth = htpasswd_options[:schemes].map{|scheme| Auths[scheme]}.sort.last or raise AuthSchemesNotDefined response.headers['WWW-Authenticate'] = strongest_auth.new(htpasswd_options).server_header logger.debug "Htpasswd sending authenticate header: '%s'"% response.headers['WWW-Authenticate'] #render :nothing => true, :status => 401 # DO SOMETHING FANCY WITH THE 401 HERE render :action => "show_home_page", :layout=> false , :status => 401 return false end end - In application.rb added this on line 1: require 'lib/hacks/htpasswd_hack' And finally i ended all that by dancing a jig.
