Golang Basic Auth

http.go

package utils

import (
	"net/http"
)

func BasicAuth(handler http.Handler, username, password string) http.HandlerFunc {
	return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		if u, p, ok := r.BasicAuth(); !ok || !(u == username && p == password) {
			w.Header().Set("WWW-Authenticate", "Basic realm=\"ZorkIrc\"")
			http.Error(w, "authorization failed", http.StatusUnauthorized)
			return
		}

		handler.ServeHTTP(w, r)
	}
}

Now you can use func (r *Request) BasicAuth() (username, password string, ok bool) from net/http

@slawosz Huh, neat. When was that added?

@slawosz I took your 2¢ into consideration and cleaned this up significantly.
