Rest-ful Basic Authentication with ASP.NET MVC

Question

Anyone know how this works, I\'m using the .net membership provider and just want to pull an xml list. I\'m also using the .net mvc sdk.

Answer 1

I thought I'd add this here for anyone (like me) who isn't quite able to wrap their head around the answer the author provided here. Here's a blog post I just did describing how to accomplish this with a [CustomBasicAuthorize] attribute that can be used the same way as the [Authorize] attribute that comes with MVC: http://cacheandquery.com/blog/2011/03/customizing-asp-net-mvc-basic-authentication/
