This specifies that the named mount point will require listener authentication. Currently, we only support a file-based authentication scheme (type=htpasswd). Users and encrypted password are placed in this file (separated by a :) and all requests for this mountpoint will require that a user and password be supplied for authentication purposes. These values are passed in via normal HTTP Basic Authentication means (i.e. http://user:password@stream:port/mountpoint.ogg). Users and Passwords are maintained via the web admin interface. A mountpoint configured with an authenticator will display a red key next to the mount point name on the admin screens.

<h3>stream_auth</h3>
<p>Technically this does not belong to listener authentication, but due to its similarity
it is explained here too. When a source connects, before anything is sent back to them,
this request is processed. The default action is to reject a source unless the auth server
sends back a response header which may be stated in the 'header' option

</pre>
<p>The request contains: the mountpoint, the IP from which the source client is connecting,
the hostname of the icecast server the client tries to connect to,
the port of said server and finally username and password as sent by the source client.
As admin requests can come in for a stream (eg metadata update) these requests can be
issued while stream is active. For these &amp;admin=1 is added to the POST details.</p></div>
