Walkthrough

The BasicAuth middleware was updated for improved robustness in parsing the Authorization header, with enhanced validation and whitespace handling. The default unauthorized response now uses a properly quoted and capitalized WWW-Authenticate header. Documentation was updated to clarify this behavior, and new tests were added to verify header parsing and response correctness.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
docs/middleware/basicauth.md Updated documentation to clarify the default WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Restricted" header in responses.
middleware/basicauth/basicauth.go Improved Authorization header parsing: trims whitespace, splits, validates scheme, and decodes credentials.
middleware/basicauth/config.go Modified default unauthorized handler to use capitalized "Basic" and quoted realm in WWW-Authenticate header.
middleware/basicauth/basicauth_test.go Added tests for WWW-Authenticate header presence, invalid Base64, and whitespace handling in Authorization.

Poem

In the land of headers, where whitespace may roam,
The bunny now checks each credential that's shown.
With quotes on the realm and a capital "B",
The tests hop along, as robust as can be.
No more confusion—just clarity, see!
