HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden header on a failed login

Описание

Send an «HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden» header on a failed login instead of «HTTP/1.1 200 OK», which is the WordPress default header on failed login. This is a tremendously simple plugin that does only that and absolutely nothing else.

The purpose of this plugin is to provide a way to allow external tools like fail2ban to get a message of a failed login e.g. to prevent a brute-force attack on a firewall level.

For the public domain.

Uses PHP5.3 anonymous functions and will not work on earlier versions of PHP
