Thanks, it's appreciated. We are taking these in account. Fortunately, it's not all as bad as it seems. > First the tutorial is hard to find. The link to it is hidden in the Wt > tutorial.

I'm changing this, and also making the Wt::Auth tutorial a tutorial, in the same Wt and Wt::Dbo. > Then I had trouble including the Auth headers, until I realized that the > version in Pau Garcia's PPA doesn't include auth yet.

Yes, unfortunately, Wt::Auth is a very recent addition. > Then in ยง2 "Configuring authentication" Many of these comments are because it was not well indicated in the blog post, which was written ahead of the time of a first release, that the actual example used in the post is part of the Wt distribution, sitting in 'examples/feature/auth1' folder. Thus that is really the piece that was missing in your de-puzzling of the tutorial. See also: https://github.com/kdeforche/wt/tree/master/examples/feature/auth1 > The launching method (using a WServer) is totally different from the one > in the Wt tutorial (WRun). It was puzzling. Which one should be used ? > What are the differences ? This is actually explained in the wt tutorial, in the inset: WRun() is a utility method whose implementation is part of the documentation: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/git/reference/html/classWt_1_1WServer.html#_details > Then, executing the app, I discovered that the AUthWidget needed strings > from a messageResourceBundle. It was said nowhere. The strings that > should be declared are not listed. This is probably because you started from hangman example, which uses a slightly customized authentication view. The feature example doesn't do that and uses Wt::Auth out-of-the box. > I then found a lot of bugs, but this is for another post ;-) Please do, it is much appreciated !
