Hi,
In Spray, I can validate a http header X-Token using the following code. def routes: Route = post { headerValueByName("X-Token") { token => authenticate(validate(token)) { user => { respondWithMediaType(`application/json`) { complete { """"msg":"successful"""" } } } } } } def validate(token: String): Future[Authentication[String]] = { Future { token match { case "foo" => Right("foo") case _ => Left(AuthenticationFailedRejection(CredentialsRejected, List())) } } How to do the above in Akka http (1.0 RC4) ? Below is my attempt which works. Is there a more elegant solution ? trait AuthDemoApp { implicit val system = ActorSystem("authDemo") sys.addShutdownHook({ system.shutdown() }) implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer() import system.dispatcher def check(requestCxt: RequestContext): Boolean = { val tokenOpt: Option[HttpHeader] = requestCxt.request.getHeader("X-Token") println("Token=" + tokenOpt) tokenOpt.map(_.value == "foo").getOrElse(false) } val route: Route = post { authorize(check _) { headerValueByName("X-Token") { token => complete { s""""msg":"successful. token=$token"""" } } } } // Starts a server listening at http://localhost:8080 val binding: Future[ServerBinding] = Http().bindAndHandle(handler = route, interface = "localhost", port = 8080) binding.onSuccess { case _ => println("Started server ----") } } Thanks in advance for any suggestions !
