------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTPAuth provides both basic and digest authentication.

To enable authentication for requests in WEBrick you will need a user
database and an authenticator.  To start, here's an Htpasswd database
for use with a DigestAuth authenticator:

  config = { :Realm => 'DigestAuth example realm' }

  htpasswd = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::Htpasswd.new 'my_password_file'
  htpasswd.auth_type = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth
  htpasswd.set_passwd config[:Realm], 'username', 'password'
  htpasswd.flush

The :Realm is used to provide different access to different groups
across several resources on a server.  Typically you'll need only one
realm for a server.

This database can be used to create an authenticator:

  config[:UserDB] = htpasswd

  digest_auth = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth.new config

To authenticate a request call #authenticate with a request and response
object in a servlet:

  def do_GET req, res
    @authenticator.authenticate req, res
  end

For digest authentication the authenticator must not be created every
request, it must be passed in as an option via
WEBrick::HTTPServer#mount.
