Node.js身份验证TypeError：object不是函数

Question

I'm currently following a tutorial on how to build a simple HTTP authentication system in Node.js. I've followed pretty much all the steps of the tutorial just as it says, yet when I try to run it, I always get this error: TypeError: object is not a function

Here's the code from the tutorial: (The error occurs on line 3)

var http = require("http");
var auth = require("http-auth");
var digest = auth({
  authRealm: "Private area",
  authFile: __dirname + "/htpasswd",
  authType: "digest"
});
var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {
  digest.apply(request, response, function(username) {
    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
    response.write("Hello " + username);
    response.end();
  });
});

server.listen(80);
console.log("Server is listening");

Thanks in advance! Sorry if this question is quite stupid, I'm new to Node.js. :P

Answer 1

try using:

var basic = auth.basic({
  authRealm: "Private area",
  authFile: __dirname + "/htpasswd",
  authType: "digest"
});

for the assignment of the basic variable.
