A few days ago I started on an app with similar requirements regarding authentication. I found that Differential's RESTstop2 recently, in version 0.6.0, upgraded their authentication support to support the newly added Bcrypt encryption in Meteor.

You simply send username and password either as URL params or body like this:

curl --data "password=testpassword&user=test" http://localhost:3000/api/login/

and the server will return the following (if credentials are correct):

{ success: true, loginToken: "f2KpRW7KeN9aPmjSZ", userId: fbdpsNf4oHiX79vMJ }

On each request you make to the server, include the loginToken and userId as headers.
