Basic Auth

API-Reference: wsgi_tools.basic_auth()

Warning

Do not use this, if your connection is not secure. The password will only be base64 encoded, which is decodable by anyone.

This includes the WSGI-app wsgi_tools.basic_auth.BasicAuth(). It first checks if the request is authenticated. If it is, it simply calls the WSGI-app, specified in the constructor. If not, the response will tell this to the client.

To create a wsgi_tools.basic_auth.BasicAuth() instance you have to specify not only the app, but a function called is_correct as well. This will be called with the two args. The first arg is the user as a str and the second arg is the password as a str. This should return a True, if this login information is correct and False otherwise.

You can access the username of the request using wsgi_tools.basic_auth.BasicAuth.user().
