What is the right way to set WWW-Authenticate header in rails response?

What is the right way to set WWW-Authenticate header in rails response?

Currently I do it this way:

    headers["WWW-Authenticate"] = %(Basic realm="My Realm")
    render :json => {:message =>I18n.t("errors.messages.authorization_error")}, :status => :unauthorized

I think that there is a more simple way to set this header using rails api. Without accessing header dictionary directly.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, but rails does have HTTP authenication baked in. Please see this link: http://apidock.com/rails/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Basic/ControllerMethods/authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic
