Basic authentication

[ManicRooks]

I have hystrix stream setup on a public web application. It is protected by a basic authentication filter for improved security. It would be nice to have the dashboard support basic authentication.

App servers often have many internal resources that are not exposed publicly and are protected via mechanisms such as servlet filters (earlier in the filter chain) or web.xml rules.

Is there a particular issue causing a need to modify the Hystrix servlet itself as opposed to protecting it via one of the various other approaches such as servlet filters or web.xml security rules?

I didn't modify the hystrix servlet, I used an external servlet filter for security. In this pull request, the hystrix dashboard was modified to support the custom authorization http header.
