func BasicAuth ¶

func BasicAuth(o AuthOptions) kami.Middleware

BasicAuth provides HTTP middleware for protecting URIs with HTTP Basic Authentication as per RFC 2617. The server authenticates a user:password combination provided in the "Authorization" HTTP header.

Example:

   package main

   import(
          "net/http"
          "github.com/zenazn/goji"
          "github.com/zenazn/goji/web/httpauth"
   )

   func main() {
        basicOpts := httpauth.AuthOptions{
                    Realm: "Restricted",
                    User: "Dave",
                    Password: "ClearText",
                }

        goji.Use(httpauth.BasicAuth(basicOpts), SomeOtherMiddleware)
        goji.Get("/thing", myHandler)
}

Note: HTTP Basic Authentication credentials are sent in plain text, and therefore it does not make for a wholly secure authentication mechanism. You should serve your content over HTTPS to mitigate this, noting that "Basic Authentication" is meant to be just that: basic!

func SimpleBasicAuth ¶

func SimpleBasicAuth(user, password string) kami.Middleware

SimpleBasicAuth is a convenience wrapper around BasicAuth. It takes a user and password, and returns a pre-configured BasicAuth handler using the "Restricted" realm and a default 401 handler.

Example:

package main

import(
       "net/http"
       "github.com/zenazn/goji/web/httpauth"
)

func main() {

     goji.Use(httpauth.SimpleBasicAuth("dave", "somepassword"), SomeOtherMiddleware)
     goji.Get("/thing", myHandler)
 }
