Rails authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic redirect if false

I've got a very basic website i'm building for a friend, he requires a 'password' on a page and if the user isn't successful he wants it to redirect to a contact me page.

I've currently got this...

before_filter :authenticate

def authenticate
  authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
  if(username == "" && password == "***")
    true
  else
    redirect_to '/pages/contact'
  end
end

end

however it redirects to the contact page upon clicking on the link... how can I get it to prompt for the password?

Could you try this:

before_filter :authenticate

def authenticate
  authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
    redirect_to '/pages/contact' unless (username == "" && password == "***")
  end
end

Note:

Another suggestion, from your above code, I would like to suggest you to take a look this discussion: redirect_to is not return in Rails in order to avoid unexpected error.
