Has anyone else dabbled in it? We're embracing it more and more. Developing systems in Ruby takes us about half the time and collaboration and deployment are much easier (partially thanks to SVN and Capistrano).

We're now going to begin creating apps that are outward-facing using Ruby. Obviously one issue is the lack fo any example code for a Ruby on Rails WebAuth client interface. If anyone out there is curious or needs a kickstart in this category. The Ruby code below is a fully functional WebAuth interface for Rails (notice how little code it takes compared to PHP).

Is anyone out there jumping on the Ruby bandwagon like us?

A complete WebAuth interface in Ruby:

def authorize

  reply = `/usr/local/asuwebauth/verify webauth.asu.edu #{cookies[:ASUWEBAUTH]} #{request.remote_ip}`.split(":") if cookies[:ASUWEBAUTH]

  @asurite = reply[1].split("@").first if reply && reply.first == '0'

  redirect_to "https://weblogin.asu.edu/cgi-bin/login?callapp=#{host}" unless @asurite

end
