task-web needs user-authentication.

[adamgibbins]

Basic authentication is already supported: https://github.com/theunraveler/taskwarrior-web/wiki/Additional-.taskrc-options

Is this insufficient for your needs?

[linuxcaffe]

Wow, never saw that! How would it be used?
I don't think that task-web has any log-in-dialog code .. does it?
It's cool though, thanks for the pointers!

Wow again! There it is (right?) that's awesome, excellent github
line-hiighting!
I'll spend some more cycles trying to understanding that, thanks

Basically, you set the task-web.user and task-web.passwd variables in your .taskrc file, and task-web will provide basic HTTP auth (using the default browser pop-up thing).

Thanks for fielding this, @adamgibbins.

Yes, thanks Adam! That was totally helpful, I had overlooked the wiki.

I gem installed thin and erubis

and then edited .taskrc

task-web.user=djp
task-web.passwd=REDACTED
task-web.filter=status:pending scheduled.none: or scheduled.before:now
tag.not:test

and then

djp@tigger:~$ task-web
[2013-05-13 13:28:55 -0400] Starting 'taskwarrior-web'...
[2013-05-13 13:28:55 -0400] trying port 5678...
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

don't know what that means, but the default log-in thingy popped up and ate
my password, and all is well! I got no idea how to log-out.. but good for
now :)

ps. the more I look into task-web and sinatra and all that, the more amazed
and impressed I am! Nice work Jake!
