Rutabaga Documentation
======================

`Rutabaga <https://launchpad.net/rutabaga>`_ is comprised of a `Cornice
<https://github.com/mozilla-services/cornice>`_
REST API and Squid addon helper, providing time limited tokens for
squid basic authentication to consuming services.

Tokens can be manually revoked, or in a typical deployment scenario,
revoked from a cron job. This is particularly useful in scenarios
where consuming services may be running untrusted code but
require restricted internet access for a particular process e.g. fetching
a data payload, or software dependencies.
