=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::HTTP - HTTP Basic authentication
for Catlayst.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Catalyst qw/
        Authentication
        Authentication::Store::Moose
        Authentication::Credential::HTTP
    /;

    sub foo : Local { 
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

        $c->authorization_requried( realm => "foo" ); # named after the status code ;-)

        # either user gets authenticated or 401 is sent

        do_stuff();
    }

    # with ACL plugin
    __PACKAGE__->deny_access_unless("/path", sub { $_[0]->authenticate_http });

    sub end : Private {
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

        $c->authorization_required_response( realm => "foo" );
        $c->error(0);
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This moduule lets you use HTTP authentication with
L<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication>.

Currently this module only supports the Basic scheme, but upon request Digest
will also be added. Patches welcome!

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item authorization_required

Tries to C<authenticate_http>, and if that files calls
C<authorization_required_response> and detaches the current action call stack.

=item authenticate_http

Looks inside C<< $c->request->headers >> and processes the basic (badly named)
authorization header.

=item authorization_required_response

Sets C<< $c->response >> to the correct status code, and adds the correct
header to demand authentication data from the user agent.
