 * Authentication module for RSS-Bridge.
 *
 * This class implements an authentication module for RSS-Bridge, utilizing the
 * HTTP authentication capabilities of PHP.
 *
 * _Notice_: Authentication via HTTP does not prevent users from accessing files
 * on your server. If your server supports `.htaccess`, you should globally restrict
 * access to files instead.
 *
 * @link https://php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php HTTP authentication with PHP
 * @link https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/howto/htaccess.html Apache HTTP Server
 * Tutorial: .htaccess files
 *
 * @todo Configuration parameters should be stored internally instead of accessing
 * the configuration class directly.
 * @todo Add functions to detect if a user is authenticated or not. This can be
 * utilized for limiting access to authorized users only.
