module HttpAuthentication
  module Basic
    def authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic(realm = 'Application')
      authenticate_with_http_basic || request_http_basic_authentication(realm)
    end

    def authenticate_with_http_basic
      if auth_str = request.env['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
        return 'login:password' == ActiveSupport::Base64.decode64(auth_str.sub(/^Basic\s+/, ''))
      end
    end

    def request_http_basic_authentication(realm = 'Application')
      response.headers["WWW-Authenticate"] = %(Basic realm="Application")
      response.body = "HTTP Basic: Access denied.\n"
      response.status = 401
      return false
    end
  end
end

# Add inside the Padtino App.
App.controllers :admin do
  layout 'admin'

  before do
    halt(401, 'Not Authorized') unless authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic
  end
end

Thanks, that worked like a charm!
