URIs can have basic authentication defined in them, for example https://janko:secret@example.com Currently username and password in URIs are ignored. This change modifies HTTP::Client to automatically detect these options and applies basic authentication.

Is this RFC-compliant? I didn't know that setting a username and password in the URI should be interpreted as basic auth. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
That's actually a constant value, maybe better hardcode it?

Hmm, that's a good question. According to the HTTP Authentication MDN page, doing this is deprecated.
Feel free to close the PR and the issue then 😄 |

@HoneyryderChuck interesting question... perhaps we should discuss on #476 (Edit: LOL, @janko-m beat me to exactly what I wanted to say) |
