Module basic_auth 

Basic HTTP Authentication (RFC 7617)

Implements the simple username/password authentication scheme where credentials are Base64-encoded and sent in the Authorization header.

Security Considerations

• Basic auth transmits credentials in an easily decoded format (Base64)
• Always use HTTPS to prevent credential interception
• This module provides an https_only option to enforce secure connections
• All credentials are wrapped in Secret<T> for automatic memory zeroing
