Please, please, suggest one authentication scheme that can be used without changing current httpd.Follow-up Comment #1, patch #9576 (project lwip): I'm not very familiar with various authentication schemes, but I think a number of them can be implemented without having to modify httpd.
Simple, but highly configurabile. My patch can be completely disabled by macros, as usual in lwip. So if you don't want, don't enable it.That's one reason not to apply this patch. The other one is the this: httpd is rather simple, please keep it this way.
Simple, but complete. IMHO a web server that isn't able to manage authentication and user types/sessions (with logout, expiration after some time, and so on) is useless in many situations.
I hope there's a simpler solution to this, but I have seen many users [1] in the past that ask how to add authentication in httpd without a real solution.
