Feature Request: An Endpoint for Verifying Basic Auth Credentials #10

Closed jaredsinclair closed 10 years ago

jaredsinclair commented 10 years ago

The flow in most mobile applications would benefit from an endpoint that would provide a quick verification of the basic auth credentials. Before the application attempts to fetch any model data, it needs to know if it can safely dismiss the login interface or kick up an error.

Something like:

/v2/authenticate

Returning 200 if verified or 403 if incorrect. No other data would be needed.

Thanks for the suggestion. This should be available now. See the documentation for details.
