[users@httpd] extract auth header from query string

[Mark Lybarger <ml...@gmail.com>]

i have a user who is connecting to a websocket that requires a basic
authenticaion header.  they're doing this from the browser's javascript as

wss://user:pass@myhost.com/endpoint

that's not supported in all browsers (Safari on iphone). as a workaround,
perhaps they can use:

wss://myhost.com/browserendpoint?creds=user:pass

then apache can rewrite to the correct url and add the needed Authorization
header.?

Any help on implementing or other ideas would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

iirc httpd does not deal with wss as of now, only for reverse proxying.
