The function mg_set_auth_handler()
hooks an authorization function to an URI to check if a user is authorized to visit that URI. The check is performed by a callback function of type mg_authorization_handler
. The callback function is passed two parameters: the current connection and a pointer to optional user defined data which was passed to mg_set_auth_handler()
when the callback was hooked to the URI.
The callback function can return 0 to deny access, and 1 to allow access.
The mg_set_auth_handler()
function is very similar in use to mg_set_request_handler()
.
