htpasswd

A compatible, stand-alone implementation of the Apache htpasswd utility in Go.

Motivation and Goals

On some systems, e.g. FreeBSD, the Apache webserver utilities are not packaged separately. The only practical alternative seems to be py-htpasswd, which didn't work for me.

Therefore, the goal of this project is to provide a portable, stand-alone implementation of the htpasswd utility.

Known Issues

This project is still in the early stages of its development, there may be unknown reliability or performance issues.

• The flags are implemented using the standard libraries flag package. This means getopt(3)-like flag grouping is not supported.
• Windows support is completely missing. Send patches.
