Connect HTTP Authentication Middleware

http-auth-connect provides a specialized middleware adapter that integrates the robust `http-auth` module with the `Connect` framework, thereby extending its utility to widely-used web frameworks like `Express.js`. It enables straightforward implementation of HTTP Basic and Digest authentication within Node.js web applications by wrapping `http-auth` configurations into a `Connect`-compatible middleware function. The current stable version is 1.0.6, with recent updates primarily focused on addressing security audit findings, indicating a maintenance-oriented release cadence rather than active feature development. Its primary differentiator is simplifying the application of `http-auth`'s comprehensive authentication schemes directly within the standard `Connect`/`Express` middleware stack, allowing developers to leverage existing, proven authentication logic without custom integration boilerplate.
