lws-basic-auth Middleware

lws-basic-auth is a middleware plugin designed to password-protect local-web-server (lws) instances using HTTP Basic Authentication. It integrates directly into the `lws` command-line and programmatic configuration, allowing users to define a username and password to restrict access to the served content. The current stable version is 2.0.0. While `lws` itself has seen infrequent updates, this middleware provides a focused and lightweight solution specifically for the `lws` ecosystem. It differentiates itself from general-purpose basic authentication libraries by being tightly coupled with `lws`'s plugin architecture, offering a streamlined setup for securing local development servers. Its release cadence is infrequent, suggesting it is a stable package in maintenance mode, receiving minimal updates.
