BasicAuth middleware provides an HTTP basic authentication.

• For valid credentials it calls the next handler.
• For invalid credentials, it sends "401 - Unauthorized" response.
• For empty or invalid Authorization header, it sends "400 - Bad Request" response.

Usage

e := echo.New()
e.Use(middleware.BasicAuth(func(username, password string) bool {
	if username == "joe" && password == "secret" {
		return true
	}
	return false
}))
