Documentation for HTTP Basic Auth Feature

The HTTP basic auth feature allows logins using HTTP basic authentication, described in RFC 1945.

In your routing block, you can require HTTP basic authentication via:

rodauth.require_http_basic_auth

If you want to allow HTTP basic authentication but not require it, you can call:

rodauth.http_basic_auth

Auth Value Methods

http_basic_auth_realm	The realm to return in the WWW-Authenticate header.
require_http_basic_auth?	If true, when `rodauth.require_login` or `rodauth.require_authentication` is used, return a 401 status page if basic auth has not been provided, instead of redirecting to the login page. If false, `rodauth.require_login` or `rodauth.require_authentication` will check for HTTP basic authentication if not already logged in. False by default.
