aiohttp-basicauth-middleware 1.0.1

An incredibly simple HTTP basic auth implementation for Aiohttp.

# aiohttp-basicauth-middleware

[](https://travis-ci.org/bugov/aiohttp-basicauth-middleware)


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

Works with Python >= 3.5.

Works with UTF-8 🖖

## Installation

pip install aiohttp-basicauth-middleware

## Usage

```python
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`.

Example with md5 password hashing:

```python
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').
