Example usage

This is a complete working example for Basic auth:

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "net/http"

        auth "github.com/abbot/go-http-auth"
)

func Secret(user, realm string) string {
        if user == "john" {
                // password is "hello"
                return "$1$dlPL2MqE$oQmn16q49SqdmhenQuNgs1"
        }
        return ""
}

func handle(w http.ResponseWriter, r *auth.AuthenticatedRequest) {
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<html><body><h1>Hello, %s!</h1></body></html>", r.Username)
}

func main() {
        authenticator := auth.NewBasicAuthenticator("example.com", Secret)
        http.HandleFunc("/", authenticator.Wrap(handle))
        http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
