Overview
Htgroup accesses apache-compatible group files.  Htgroup can be used to provide group-based authentication for users.  Currently Htgroup is not directly integrated with any authenticators in ::WEBrick.  For security, the path for a digest password database should be stored outside of the paths available to the HTTP server.
Example:
htgroup = WEBrick::HTTPAuth::Htgroup.new 'my_group_file'
htgroup.add 'superheroes', %w[spiderman batman]
htgroup.members('superheroes').include? 'magneto' # => falseClass Method Summary
