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.

            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

        ``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``

            ``username`` and ``password`` for its first and second
            arguments respectively.  It should return ``True`` if
            the user is authenticated.
