aiohttp-basicauth-middleware 1.2.0

An incredibly simple HTTP basic auth implementation for Aiohttp.

Aiohttp middleware for simple http basic auth protection for some urls.

Works with Python >= 3.6.

Works with UTF-8 🖖

Installation

pip install aiohttp-basicauth-middleware

Usage

app = web.Application(loop=loop)

app.router.add_route('GET', '/hello', handler_a)
app.router.add_route('GET', '/admin/hello', handler_b)

app.middlewares.append(
    basic_auth_middleware(
        ('/admin',),
        {'user': 'password'},
    )
)

basic_auth_middleware has 3 params:

1. list of protected urls. For example [‘/admin’] will match with /admin/user, but will not match with /user/admin.

2. auth dict – a dict with pairs: login-password.

3. strategy (optional) for password comparision. For example you can store hashed password in auth_dict. See aiohttp_basicauth_middleware.strategy.BaseStrategy and example.strategy for more information.

Example with md5 password hashing:

app = web.Application(loop=loop)

app.router.add_route('GET', '/hello', handler_a)
app.router.add_route('GET', '/admin/hello', handler_b)

app.middlewares.append(
    basic_auth_middleware(
        ('/admin',),
        {'user': '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99'},
        lambda x: hashlib.md5(bytes(x, encoding='utf-8')).hexdigest(),
    )
)

/admin/… will be accessed by the same login+password pair (‘user’, ‘password’).
