Q: 

The best way to implement REST in CakePHP 1.3?

Does anyone know of any tutorials that explain clearly how to implement simple REST functionality with authorization.

I've seen a few plugins and got also got some basic REST functionality working but there seems no clear guidelines about how to build a secure REST service in Cake.

Any help appreciated.

A: 

Sounds like you need to look into OAuth which uses REST to connect to Web Sevices without sending usernames and passwords.

Try these tutorials for a start
