Basic Auth Middleware

Basic auth middleware provides an HTTP basic authentication.

• For valid credentials it calls the next handler.
• For missing or invalid credentials, it sends “401 - Unauthorized” response.

Usage

e.Use(middleware.BasicAuth(func(username, password string, c echo.Context) (bool, error) {
	// Be careful to use constant time comparison to prevent timing attacks
	if subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(username), []byte("joe")) == 1 &&
		subtle.ConstantTimeCompare([]byte(password), []byte("secret")) == 1 {
		return true, nil
	}
	return false, nil
}))
