Nodejs Auth example

auth.js

var app = connect.createServer(
    //connect.logger(),
    connect.cookieParser(),
    connect.session({secret : 'wibble', key : 'phoenix.sid', store: sessionStore}),
    connect.bodyParser(),
    
    //Move this out of here later for cleanliness
    connect.router(function(app){
        app.post('/auth', function(req, res) {
            
            /**
             * parse for the password + username (supplied as json blob)
             * if they match auth, if not return 401
             */
            req.session.authed = true;
            
        });
    }),

    
    //This must go after me login stuff - serves up the static content
    connect.static(__dirname + '/html')
    
);
app.listen(config.get('server:port'));




//Socket IO magic happens here
var sio = socketio.listen(app);

sio.set('authorization', function (data, accept) {
  if(data.headers.cookie) {
    var cookie = connect.utils.parseCookie(data.headers.cookie);
    data.sessionID = cookie['phoenix.sid'];
    sessionStore.get(data.sessionID, function (err, session) {
      if(err || !session) {
        accept('No session found');
      } else {
        if(session.authed != true){
          accept('Not authenticated', false);
        } else {
          data.session = session;
