Api key or other security mechanism? #41

Closed jeff1985 closed 8 years ago

jeff1985 commented 8 years ago

Is there an easy way to secure the webservice with an api key or username/password? I feel very uncomfortable by exposing the control over a fully functional webbrowser to anyone who is smart enough to guess the port number...

I've just added support of "Basic" auth (https://github.com/vbauer/manet/commit/da8048fecaa69fda050ff1a0c17f41c4eb0445df), you can add another security mechanism. I'm open for pull requests.

In the nearest future I'll update README and add more unit tests.

Wow thats great! Basic auth is absolutely enough for my purposes. Will the new version be available with npm soon or will i need to build from source?
