Basic HTTP/1.0 Authentication
This module implements ``Basic`` authentication as described in
HTTP/1.0 specification [1]_ . Do not use this module unless you
are using SSL or need to work with very out-dated clients, instead
use ``digest`` authentication.

HTTP/1.0 ``Basic`` authentication middleware
Parameters:
``application``
The application object is called only upon successful
authentication, and can assume ``environ['REMOTE_USER']``
is set. If the ``REMOTE_USER`` is already set, this
middleware is simply pass-through.
``realm``
This is a identifier for the authority that is requesting
authorization. It is shown to the user and should be unique
within the domain it is being used.
``authfunc``
This is a mandatory user-defined function which takes a
``environ``, ``username`` and ``password`` for its first
three arguments. It should return ``True`` if the user is
authenticated.
