This PR adds support for
--authurl, an alternative to--authfilethat delegates user authentication to an external HTTP service.When a client connects, the server POSTs
{"username": "...", "password": "..."}to the configured URL; a 200 response with a JSON array of address regexes grants access, while any other status denies it.This approach works well in containerized environments where
--authfileis limited by the lack of cross-container file-change notifications. The flag supports all existing address-matching functionality of--authfileand is mutually exclusive with it.
