| # lws minimal http server basic auth |
| |
| This demonstrates how to protect a mount using a password |
| file outside of the mount itself. |
| |
| The demo has two mounts, a normal one at / and one protected |
| by basic auth at /secret. |
| |
| The file at ./ba-passwords contains valid user:password |
| combinations. |
| |
| ## Discovering the authenticated user |
| |
| After a successful authentication, the `WSI_TOKEN_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION` token |
| contains the authenticated username. |
| |
| ## build |
| |
| ``` |
| $ cmake . && make |
| ``` |
| |
| ## usage |
| |
| ``` |
| $ ./lws-minimal-http-server-basic-auth |
