Dry basic-auth middleware using Django's AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS and "basicauth" lib

Requires to install "basicauth" package, which does basic-auth header encoding/decoding cleanly according to RFCs. Could be improved to return a "realm" in case of http401, like in https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1720/, although I'm not sure it's really useful in django usecases.

Basic Auth Middleware

A very basic Basic Auth middleware that uses a username/password defined in your settings.py as `BASICAUTH_USERNAME` and `BASICAUTH_PASSWORD`. Does not use Django auth. Handy for quickly securing an entire site during development, for example. In settings.py: BASICAUTH_USERNAME = 'user' BASICAUTH_PASSWORD = 'pass' MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'app.module.BasicAuthMiddleware', #all other middleware )
