HTTP auth daemon

This is an authentication daemon for use with Nginx's ngx_http_auth_request_module. It is based on/forked of their reference implementation for which the blog (and original README.md) can be found in nginx_blog.md.

I have stripped a lot of file out of the original fork, because I am only interested in developing the authentication daemon further for use with the PiCaS server. So all example configuration was stripped and I focus only on the daemon code. Although started for the PiCaS server, this daemon is usable in other situations as well: no PiCaS configuration is hard-coded.

To see the original repository, including all the configuration files, just (git) checkout the 'nginx-original' tag.

Build docker image

Building the Docker image is quite easy:

 docker build --tag auth_daemon .

Running the Docker image

Running the Docker image is also quite easy:

 docker run --detach auth_daemon

The container listens to port 8888
