Hi All,

I am wondering if something like Apache-AuthCookie[0] is available for Dancer ?

Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Htpasswd and Basic are really cool, but I would like to avoid basic http auth if possible.

[0] https://metacpan.org/module/Apache::AuthCookie

Something that presents a login form if the user isn't logged in?

Hi David, thanks a lot for the module, it does exactly what I need! Kind Regards, Alex

But there is one problem, if I need to protect a route which is a file - lets say an image, than the file is rendered anyway. I looked on Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Htpasswd and it uses 'before_file_render' hook to ensure that the file is not rendered. Would it be possible to implement a similar feature in D::P::A::E ?

or is there another way to define this hook using Auth::Extensible keywords ?

I tried to use something like that:

hook 'before_file_render' => sub { require_login(); }; but that didn't work for me.

Thanks a lot, Alex

Just to close the thread, the problem with files is solved by using before_file_render hook something like that : hook before_file_render => sub { my $path_re = '^/'."$private_suffix"; if ( (request->path_info =~ qr{$path_re}) && (not logged_in_user()) ){ redirect "$realhome".'/login'; } return; }; Alex
