[PATCH] Fix parsing bug in http token authentication module

Reported by Ben Marini | May 31st, 2010 @ 08:23 AM

ActionController::HttpAuthentication::Token#token_and_options incorrectly parses the the Authentication header.

Given a header like this:

Authentication: Token token="vF9dft4qmT",signature="wOJIO9A2W5mFwDgiDvZbTSMK/PY="

#token_and_options will remove the equals from within the signature value and return this:

[ "vF9dft4qmT", { "signature" => "wOJIO9A2W5mFwDgiDvZbTSMK/PY" } ]

I've attached a failing test case that applies to master.

Perhaps we can make use of the parsing code from Rack::Auth::Digest::Params, I believe it will parse this correctly.
