Hi I'm from Grails background and new to Rails. I wish to do http basic authentication in rails.

I have a code in grails which does basic authentication like this:

def authString = "${key}:".getBytes().encodeBase64().toString()
def conn = "http://something.net".toURL().openConnection()
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic ${authString}")

Can the same be done with rails?
