Proposal
1. Improved parsing of authentication information:
I currently use a for loop to split username and password, but we believe that using strings.Cut, available in Go 1.18 or later, would make the code simpler and more readable.
2. Added Realm quoting in WWW-Authenticate header:
RFC 7617 requires that the value of the realm parameter be a quoted-string. In the current implementation, the default realm is unquoted. You can comply with this specification by always using strconv.Quote
These changes will further improve the robustness and maintainability of the middleware.
