Custom error function still returning error 401 without body about slim-basic-auth HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry! I didn't notice that it's a feature on the 3.x branch.

from slim-basic-auth.

NP. You should be pretty safe to use the 3.x branch. However there might be changes since PSR-15 is not finalized yet.

Oh wait. It is not 3.x feature. Your code above should work with 2.x branch of the middleware too. Are you sure you are testing with the correct url? Are you running other authentication middleware such as slim-jwt-auth too?

Below is an example request with the code you provided above.

$ curl --include http://127.0.0.1:8080/api
