This PR refactors the basic_auth_test.go file to use a table-driven test approach. The new structure improves readability, simplifies the addition of new test cases, and makes it easier to maintain the tests as the codebase evolves.
What was changed
Refactored individual test cases within TestBasicAuth into a table-driven test.
Moved repeated logic into the test table to reduce redundancy.
No changes were made to production code.
Why the change was made
Table-driven tests provide a more scalable way to manage and add test cases. This refactor ensures that future test cases can be added with minimal repetition.
How it was tested
From the 'middleware' directory, ran go test -v -run TestBasicAuth. All tests passed successfully.
Manually checked each test within TestBasicAuth to ensure that if test conditions were changed the test failed.
No functional changes were made to the codebase, so there should be no impact on production.

Am willing to refactor more tests if the table-driven format is desirable
