[Opensim-dev] Basic HTTP authentication

[Diva Canto]

Hi all,

I'm about to send up a patch that adds an optional Basic HTTP 
authentication to robust service connectors. This restores the very old 
"password" that existed in OpenSim a few years ago and that was removed. 
This time, it's done using the standard HTTP protocol. My patch uses a 
generic authentication object interface whose concrete class can be 
changed as needed. Right now there's only BasicHttpAuthentication class, 
but if someone wants to use something else, it should be easy to write 
another class that does something different.

Let me know if you have any questions.
