[moin-devel] moin2 questions

First time poster here, though I did significant development work on Moin2 a couple years ago (e.g., the “ItemPageList” macro and the “Dokunized” theme).  I had to put my dev activities on the back-burner, but… 

I'm now beginning a new site and I think Moin2 might be a good fit, but have three questions (to determine how much code I need to write to make things work):

Can Moin leverage existing "Basic" auth?

Assuming the Moin URL is underneath another URL protected by an htpasswd file (i.e., the "Authorization: Basic” HTTP header is present)
*And* assuming that the users in the htpasswd file are exactly the same as known by Moin’s database...
Is it possible to get Moin to accept this authentication token without requiring another authentication?
[I understand that some hackery will be required to ensure a “password-change” inside Moin is reflected back into the htpasswd file, but that’s not what this question is about.]

Can Moin export all its data into a hierarchy of text-files?

I have a requirement to be able to export the entire system
A “print” might be acceptable...
...but I think that the goal is more for a “raw" view (e.g., Markdown)
Metadata can be discarded, but some (e.g., ACLs) would be nice.
Anything like this?

Does Moin support any adaptive-streaming audio/video players (e.g., Video.JS)?

This should be an easy “add" if not, but figured I’d ask…


Thanks,
Kent
