[xwiki-devs] about login and logout using XWiki REST API

4 Jun 2011

      Dear all,

I am on the way of replacing the xmlrpc implementation of
       RemoteXWikiDataStorage implements IDataStorage {}.

One question is about how to implement login and logout functionality 
via REST API.
 From REST API document, users can be authenticated via something like:
1. XWiki session
2. HTTP Basic Auth.

HTTP basic auth can be implemented via adding HTTP header to the HTTP 
request, then XEclipse can display Xwiki Resources by parsing the response.

Therefore, do we need to implement login and logout methods?

Best regards
Jun Han
