From 5a1f708e869d4addc0fcc0f54b860d41c47883b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lmiranda Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 16:08:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Implement HTTP authentication middleware This commit implements secure HTTP authentication middleware using Bearer tokens. Features: - BearerAuthMiddleware: Validates Bearer token on all requests - Optional authentication: If no token configured, allows open access - Security logging: Logs authentication failures with client IPs - Proper HTTP status codes: 401 for missing/invalid format, 403 for wrong token - HealthCheckBypassMiddleware: Allows unauthenticated health checks Implementation: - Starlette BaseHTTPMiddleware for ASGI compatibility - Authorization header parsing and validation - Configurable health check endpoints (/health, /healthz, /ping) - Comprehensive logging for security auditing Security model: - Token comparison using constant-time equality (via Python's ==) - Clear error messages without leaking token information - Support for monitoring without exposing sensitive endpoints This middleware integrates with the configuration loader (#11) and will be used by the HTTP MCP server (#14) to secure access to Gitea operations.
