HandlerSocket’s Secret Authentication Mechanism
Matt Ward made a comment on another blog post of mine informing me that HandlerSocket does, in fact, support authentication (committed 20 November 2010 in 43545662ddc23faa90ab). He mentions that it’s only plaintext (you’ve got to start somewhere, I suppose) and that it is undocumented, which explains why nobody knew about it. The purpose of this post is to document the functionality until it’s officially done.
