A middleware for express.js to use HTTP basic authentication to protect your web.

Enter your desired username and password when calling httpauther. You must enter your password hashed with MD5 which you can do online.

Terminal: npm install httpauther --save
Your express-app: var httpauther = require('httpauther')('realm', 'usr', '<md5 hash>');

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var httpauther = require('httpauther')('admin pages','admin','5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99');


app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send('not protected at all');
});

app.get('/admin', httpauther, function(req, res) {
    res.send('admin pages!');
});
