title: Restlet basic HTTP Authentication : Help required
body: <p>I am running Restful web service on 8182 port using restlet framework. I am trying to authenticate user to hit the service. i.g.</p>
  
  <p>I have a query string like this <a href="http://localhost:8182/api/service/customers/?key=" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:8182/api/service/customers/?key=</a>"XXXXXXXXX"</p>
  
  <p>My doubts are:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>How to get value of parameter key in Resource class/Application class, so i can authenticate user upon key through my custom database.</p></li>
  <li><p>I don't have any client code for my restful service, since i want to invoke all call from browser itself. so please tell me,how  to send post data from browser itself. since i want to use post/put method to add new customer data.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am using restlet framework 1.1.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
