Add support for generating htpasswd hash about sprig HOT 6 OPEN

If anyone comes here from google, an easy way to get around it for helm charts and nginx is to use plain text to store the pw:

auth: {{ (print "apikey:{PLAIN}" (index .Values.apiKey)) | b64enc | quote }}

Not cool to store the PWs like this but it's in a kubernetes secret so i guess it's ok? Suppose for proper auth you wouldn't use basic auth anyway

@technosophos The algorithms are a bit of a mess:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/misc/password_encryptions.html
lots of apache specific stuff in C, not sure if anyone want's to port that over. Bcrypt seems to be pretty standard but i'm not sure what this means: https://github.com/abbot/go-http-auth/blob/cb4372376e1e00e9f6ab9ec142e029302c9e7140/basic.go#L27. Might not be relevant for generation.

Would it be possible implement third argument for sprig htpasswd, so I can provide htpasswd related arguments?

e.g.:

{{ htpasswd .Values.username .Values.password 'nBC 10' }}

@kamshak Nginx indeed seems to support plain text passwords in the passwd file. However, when I create a Kubernetes secret that contains foo:bar (base64 encoded) the Nginx Controller doesn't accept these credentials. If I use htpasswd to encrypt bar it works.

Are you sure that your approach should work for the Nginx Ingress controller?

Can you point me to some documentation? I'm not sure what the hashing algo is that it uses.

Can you explain where it is stored in plain text? because the secret is base64 encoded
