[Basic HTTP Authentication](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7617) Middleware

for [Buffalo](https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo)

## Installation

```console

$ go get github.com/gobuffalo/mw-basicauth

```

## Usage

```go

auth := func(c buffalo.Context, u, p string) (bool, error) {

    return (u == "username" && p == "password"), nil

}

app.Use(basicauth.Middleware(auth))

```

## Hitting protected endpoints

1. Base64 Encode `username:password`, which becomes `dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQK` in the aforementioned example

2. Then pass the following HTTP header along with all requests to protected endpoints: `Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQK`
