Added basic http authentication #62

I really like this project, simple UI, the perfect OTA server I was looking for :))

I've added basic http authentication, so that not anybody from the network can access it. I know, it's not perfect security, but at least it's ok for the average user :) If HTTP_USER/PASSWORD is not set in the config file http authentication is not used, it will work as before these modifications.

Also any idea on how to enable HTTPS?

Merged, thank you.

To answer your question: what I would do, if you really want TLS at home for your devices, would be to front this with either Apache or nginx, or even (for a really simple experience!) with Caddy, which can do TLS out of the box, automatically with Let's Encrypt.
