I don't think there's anything special about authentication with ReST - the client passes credentials via web server authentication, and your code could then access CGI.AUTH_USER etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite.

That is for a challenge/response security set at the web server level. For a ReST call, you can pass in a user and password. In CF, this can be done with cfhttp http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_g-h_09.html On 7 August 2012 09:59, Dave Watts <dwatts@figleaf.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
