browserid/mozilla persona support?

[gi...@lewman.us]

I've failed to hack in mozilla browserid/persona support to
gitit. I thought I could simply follow along the rpxnow code, but
well, I'm still learning haskell and probably screwed it up. It seems that
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/authenticate/1.3.1/doc/html/src/Web-Authenticate-BrowserId.html
and http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2011/07/browserid-support are both
possibilities for me to continue hacking.

Before I fall into the blackhole, has anyone else already done this
to gitit?

Thanks!

I don't know anything about Happstack, but it may be easier to
hack on gitit2[0], wherein I think you would add something like
(untested)

instance YesodAuth Gitit where
type AuthId Gitit = GititUser

loginDest _ = HomeR
logoutDest _ = HomeR

getAuthId creds = GititUser (credsIdent creds) (credsIdent creds)

authPlugins _ = [authBrowserId]

authHttpManager = httpManager

and then add an AuthR route and do something about requireUser.
