Basic Auth Lambda@Edge Function

Implements a simple basic auth function to attach to an AWS CloudFront distribution. Note that basic auth is inherently insecure and should not be used to protect content of value. It does work well to keep search engines and crawlers out of stage websites.

Usage

1. Create a new Lambda function in us-east-1 (AWS does not support @Edge functions from other regions at this time.)
2. Copy the contents of index.js to the new Lambda
3. Replace {your-shared-username} and {your-shared-password} with actual values
4. Attach to CloudFront as a viewer request function

Naked Redirector Lambda@Edge Function

THIS GIST HAS BEEN DEPRECATED

AWS introduced CloudFront Functions as an alternative (but not replacement) to Lambda@Edge functions. Both have their pros and cons but for naked-domain-to-www redirection a CloudFront Function is a better choice. Please see Naked Redirector CloudFront Function for an implementation example.

Intended to run on CloudFront as Lambda@Edge, naked redirector checks the incoming hostname and if it is naked, e.g. somedomain.com and not www.somedomain.com, it will redirect to the www subdomain with preserved path and query string variables.
