http://stackoverflow.com/q/14327676/130638

Install

1. Install express into your project npm install --save express

docpad.coffee

# Import
express = require('express')

# Create our auth middleware
authMiddleware = express.basicAuth (user, pass) -> 
   return user is 'super' and pass is 'secret'

# Configure DocPad
docpadConfig = 
	serverExtend: (opts) ->
		# Prepare
		docpad = @

		# Define our own custom middleware to handle protected pages
		opts.serverExpress.use (req,res,next) =>
			# Prepare
			cleanUrl = req.url.replace(/\?.*/,'')
			file = docpad.getFileByUrl(req.url) or docpad.getFileByUrl(cleanUrl)

			# Continue with the next middleware if the file doesn't exist or isn't protected
			return next()  unless file?.get('protected')

			# The file is protected so lets forward the request onto our auth middleware
			return authMiddleware(req,res,next)

# Export
module.exports = docpadConfig
