rest-service

A barebones Node.js app using Express 4.

Running Locally

Make sure you have Node.js and the Heroku CLI installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/amilam/rest-service.git
$ cd rest-service
$ npm install express express-basic-auth
$ node index.js

Your app should now be running on localhost:5000. This is secured with following credentials. username: admin password: admin

If you try http://localhost:5000/hello?name=john you will not see anything in the browser because it is unauthorized. But, if you try with the following curl command you will get a response. curl -v -X GET -H "Authorization:Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" 'http://localhost:5000/hello?name=amila'
