Basic password protection

[guidobouman]

When using list, you might want to supply a password to protect your directory or static site.

This is especially important when using now-serve to serve a staging environment that should not be reachable by every person on the internet.

@leo I'm working on a PR, should this be in the form of a micro-plugin or can I use http-auth?

[rauchg]

This is a cool idea. Maybe with envs? HTTP_BASIC_USER and HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD ?

[guidobouman]

Yeah, I thought the same. Or with a HTTP_BASIC_AUTH string: username:password or username:password_hash

@guidobouman are you still working on this? I was thinking about taking a stab at it, but I don't want to jump in if you're still planning to do it 😄

[guidobouman]

Have a go! I can assist if you're running into any issues.

[taravancil]

Cool, thanks!

Implemented this as just more CLI flags. Let me know what you guys think.

Hi, since the rewrite I can't see this option anywhere. Is it still possible to add a basic protection when using serve?

[hormesiel]

@paulintrognon Yes, but it seems like the only way now is to do it by yourself. See how here.
