Method to return basic authentication username and password

[designer-systems-ltd]

Hello
I am looking for a stanadrd method to return the basic authentication username and password so that I can log failed authentication attempts.
I can see _authorization string is used in WebRequest.cpp to store the parsed results from the header but this string is not made public by the class so cannot be read. Is there a standard method to return this string, or even better the Base64 decoded version ?

No there is none.

But the header should be available in the request object and you should be able to access it by querying the request headers.
You can look at the examples in the project to read request headers.

Overall, what you want to do is a really non standard and unsecured way of doing things so depending, you might have to create your own middleware maybe, or override the existing ones.
