Corion was looking for a way to test BasicAuth in WWW::Mechanize::Shell's functional tests. Here's a snippet that fires up a tiny daemon that either demands authorization, or returns back a page saying what authorization was used. The port number varies (it always picks a free port)... it'll have to be captured for access.
use HTTP::Daemon;
my $d = HTTP::Daemon->new or die;
print "Please contact me at: <URL:", $d->url, ">\n";
while (my $c = $d->accept) {
while (my $r = $c->get_request) {
if (my ($user, $pass) = $r->authorization_basic) {
$c->send_response(HTTP::Response->new(200, "OK", undef,
"user = <$user> pass = <$pass>"));
} else {
my $res = HTTP::Response->new(401, "Auth Required", undef,
"auth required");
$res->www_authenticate("Basic realm=\"testing realm\"");
$c->send_response($res);
}
}
$c->close;
undef($c);
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
