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

Got the following answer from José Valim:

If you have an web service, sign in should be done using HTTP Auth. If not, your option is to disable authenticity token on the session form, although not recommended.
