How do you use cURL to authenticate on a Rails application that uses Devise?

Question

I want to test my rails web service using cURL, yet so far I could only do it while deactivating before_filter :authenticate_user!. But I\'d like to log in a priori

Answer 1

Have you tried something like this (not tested):

curl --user name:password http://www.domain.com
curl --user name:password -f 'key=value' http://www.domain.com
