Generating a org.http4s.AuthedService?

[jatcwang]

I had to implement authentication for my service, but I don't think I can make it work with Rho as it is now.
In a multi-tenant application, I need contextual information around the user and the organization they belong to.

Currently Action's act field has the signature (Request, T) => Task[Response] which means I can't pass on the auth context for the user other than stuffing it inside Request's attributes, which I'm not a fan of due to lack of type safety.

In the context of Rho, is it possible to extend it in such a way that we can plug in an arbitrary Request type?

FYI there is a task for general talk about authorization: #14.

As @zarthross noted, its something I've been interested in but not found the time/need to do. I'm definitely interested in authentication/authorization in rho and it would be a really awesome addition to the generated swagger docs.

All that said, I haven't invested any time into it. Ideas and PR's welcome. 😄

Closing as a duplicate of #14. Further discussion should continue there.
