ctxswitch / htpasswd

Go package for accessing and authenticating against htpasswd files

Htpasswd Authentication

Htpasswd is a go package for reading and authenticating using htpasswd files.

Installation

go get -u github.com/ctxswitch/htpasswd

Quick Start

h, err := htpasswd.Open('/path/to/.htpasswd')
h.Authenticate('username', 'password')

// At any point you can reload the users if anything has changed
h.Reload()

At some point a process that reloads the contents at a specified check interval will be added, but it has not been implimented. It will look like this:

h, err := htpasswd.Open('/path/to/.htpasswd')
// Set the check interval for 30 seconds
h.CheckInterval = 30
// Start the process to automatically reload the file at the specified check interval
h.AutoReload()

Development Status

Though the standard interface will be stable, the project is new and should not yet be considered stable for production use.
