basic_authentication doesn't work in Safari
Reported by Carl | June 25th, 2008 @ 08:57 PM | in 0.9.4
This simple code works fine in Firefox. However, the authentication window never pops up in Safari (wheel keeps spinning forever)
before :authenticate
def authenticate
basic_authentication { |u, p| u == "root" && p == "admin" }
end

It is a know problem with Safari if you have ; in the URL, do you? For that reason Ruby on Rails developers abandoned ; as resource / action separator.

I didn't have any ; in the url. Just a simple http://0.0.0.0:4000/admin

What version of Safari? I created a sample app with the code you specified in Application controller, and access those pages from Safari 3.1 with basic http authentication working.

Ok, so far nobody could reproduce it and ; (known to cause problems to Safari) is no longer supported as action separator. If you have more details on version of Safari, feel free to comment.
