=head1 NAME

Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic - Simple basic authentication middleware

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Plack::Builder;
  my $app = sub { ... };

  builder {
      enable "Auth::Basic", authenticator => \&authen_cb;
      $app;
  };

  sub authen_cb {
      my($username, $password) = @_;
      return $username eq 'admin' && $password eq 's3cr3t';
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Plack::Middleware::Auth::Basic is a basic authentication handler for Plack.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

=over 4

=item authenticator

A callback function that takes username and password supplied and
returns whether the authentication succeeds. Required.

Authenticator can also be an object that responds to C<authenticate>
method that takes username and password and returns boolean, so
backends for L<Authen::Simple> is perfect to use:

  use Authen::Simple::LDAP;
  enable "Auth::Basic", authenticator => Authen::Simple::LDAP->new(...);

=item realm

Realm name to display in the basic authentication dialog. Defaults to I<restricted area>.

=head1 LIMITATIONS

This middleware expects that the application has a full access to the
headers sent by clients in PSGI environment. That is normally the case
with standalone Perl PSGI web servers such as L<Starman> or
L<HTTP::Server::Simple::PSGI>.

However, in a web server configuration where you can't achieve this
(i.e. using your application via mod_perl, CGI or FastCGI), this
middleware does not work since your application can't know the value
of C<Authorization:> header.

If you use Apache as a web server and CGI or mod_perl to run your PSGI
application, you can use mod_rewrite to pass the Authorization header
to the application with the rewrite rule like following.

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
