Hurray! A response! Yes, true. With basic auth, there is a user. And with Auth digest there is a user as well. But how and where does Dancer2 get it? I expected that Dancer2 would get it from the environment hash %ENV. That in there the REMOTE_USER would be set and that this is what Dancer2 takes. However I could find this nowhere in the Dancer2 code. And if I set REMOTE_USER myself, Dancer2 does not pick this up. Hence my question: where does Dancer2 get this from? You do give me an idea though. I could read through the code to see if Dancer2 perhaps looks at the headers for this user value, instead of getting it from the server. Because the second is true as well, the server gets the user value from the headers. Kind regards, Arjan. On 09/15/2015 02:40 PM, Rick Leir wrote:

My suspicion: if there was Basic Auth, then there will be a User value. Without auth, I don't think you will get any user value. It could be from a special URL format, like this: http://username:password@example.com/
The User value is encoded in the Authorization header.
If I am right, this is not specific to Dancer. Cheers -- Rick _______________________________________________ dancer-users mailing list dancer-users@dancer.pm http://lists.preshweb.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/dancer-users
