<PRE>Hello, y'all.
I'm using HTTP Basic Auth in my API. While calling
cowboy_req:parse_header(<<"authorization>>", ... with an _invalid_
Authorization header such as "Authorization: Basic Test1" I get an error
500 back and an error log message on the server.
1. Is this the expected behavior? [if I understand correctly, my request is
going through authorization(UserPass, Type = <<"basic">>) and this has no
check for the string being correctly encoded]
2. what would be the best way to guard against this "error"?
Thanks.
