This module provides methods for authenticating a user.
It uses HTTPD::UserAdmin to lookup passwords in a
database. Subclasses provide methods specific to the
authentication mechanism.
Currently, under HTTP/1.0 the only supported
authentication mechanism is Basic Authentication. NCSA
Mosaic and NCSA HTTPd understand the proposed Message
Digest Authentication, which should make it into the HTTP
spec someday. This module supports both.
