[rabbitmq-discuss] Authentication Backend HTTP

[eleanor]

Hi, I found the following plugin, which I think can be a great way to extend
the rabbitmq: https://github.com/simonmacmullen/rabbitmq-auth-backend-http

But since I'm only starting with rabbitmq, I downloaded the rabbitmq
development tools like it says here
http://www.rabbitmq.com/plugin-development.html . So the plugins/ directory
under rabbitmq-server contains the following:
    # ls plugins/
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 eleanor eleanor 32 Jul  1 19:22 rabbitmq-auth-backend-http
-> ../../rabbitmq-auth-backend-http
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 eleanor eleanor 28 Jul  1 18:47 rabbitmq-erlang-client ->
../../rabbitmq-erlang-client


This should be fine, since the rabbitmq-auth-backend-http is enabled. The
problem happens with the enable command:
    # rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_auth_backend_http
    Error: The following plugins could not be found:
rabbitmq_auth_backend_http

And when I compile and run the rabbitmq, the plugin is not loaded:
# make run

RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR="/tmp/rabbitmq-rabbit-mnesia"

Does anybody have any idea how to install the HTTP backend to test it out?
Btw: why isn't this plugin part of the default plugins if rabbitmq?
