You're right, that's useful for remote access. I'll add a command line argument that triggers connect's basicAuth
middleware.
How important do you think it is to be able to specify the password via a config file? For your use case, is it enough to pass it directly from the command line? Something like:
$ nide --username AzureDiamond --password hunter2
Hm i think that would be enough for a start, better would be to specify a file where we could set a user and password. i would like to try to implement nide into a cms, something like "activate nide" then get an overlay with nide inside an iframe, now this should be password protected so i can send this information when opening the iframe and no one could intercept, but everyone in my application could use it :)
When i think about it, command line would really be enough, i can then configure a node script with the username and password and start nide from inside of the script.
The latest version on the repository now supports this. I'm going to include it on the next release.
I would really like to see a simple .htaccess style Authentification so not everyone can use the editor, i could really use this when developing on a foreign machine :)
