the server-side of HTTP Basic Access Authentication, as described in RFC 2617.

Example usage, using the built-in checkpassword_dict function which uses a dict
as the credentials store:

userpassdict = {'bird' : 'bebop', 'ornette' : 'wayout'}
checkpassword = cherrypy.lib.auth_basic.checkpassword_dict(userpassdict)
