Read HTTP header ruby

Question

I have a project that uses an Apache server that demands NTLM auth. If i look with packetracer to the http packets i can see the username in clear text.

My question is how do i read the http headers of the current connection. I have tried:

url = URI.parse('http://www.knowbase.be')
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('http://www.knowbase.be')
@res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
  http.request(req)
}

But that gives a http request from server side. Can someone help me with this! I need this functionality for implementing this --> Tutorial

You should probably look at the contents of request.headers, see the documentation. Some tweaking in Apache may be necessary to get the correct header forwarded to Rails.

Well in my own time, I had been looking for this long time as well... Until I though "well it'd make sense for it to be in something like request.headers"... I tried it, and I was like "oh right..." :)
