shared_secret_route

This route is a simple authentication method that limits requests based on
whether they are in possession of an agreed upon shared secret. Be aware that
if the request is send over HTTP then the secret will be visible to anyone
intercepting the request. For this reason you should only use this route in
combination with HTTPS or accept the probability that the secret is exposed.
If no shared secret is provided with the request or if the shared secret
doesn't match a <code>400L Bad Request</code> response is returned.

In order to make sure that web request ends up in the correct
handler function a router is often used. 'routr' is a package implementing a
simple but powerful routing functionality for R based servers. It is a fully
functional 'fiery' plugin, but can also be used with other 'httpuv' based
servers.
