9```go
10import httptransport "github.com/go-kit/kit/transport/http"
11
12httptransport.NewServer(
13 AuthMiddleware(cfg.auth.user, cfg.auth.password, "Example Realm")(makeUppercaseEndpoint()),
14 decodeMappingsRequest,
15 httptransport.EncodeJSONResponse,
16 httptransport.ServerBefore(httptransport.PopulateRequestContext),
17 )
18```

20For AuthMiddleware to be able to pick up the Authentication header from an HTTP request we need to pass it through the context with something like ```httptransport.ServerBefore(httptransport.PopulateRequestContext)```.View as plain text
