404 returned when call basic_authentication method.

[fz0000]

Here is an example from my code(my real code is for https but no much difference):

import os
from browsermobproxy import Server
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities

p_server = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8888'
p_user = '<username>'
p_password = '<password>'

server = Server(os.path.realpath('browsermob-proxy-2.1.4/bin/browsermob-proxy.bat'))
server.start()

params = {'trustAllServers': True, 'httpProxy': p_server}
client = server.create_proxy(params=params)
client.basic_authentication('', p_user, p_password)  # return code 404 here

capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
client.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)

options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
options.accept_insecure_certs = True

driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=capabilities, options=options)
driver.get('http://www.example.com')
#
# some other code here

And error occurs after go to the url:

It seems that my username and password are not set via the method basic_authentication and it always use the default account.

Or, is there any error in my code? Any example will be appreciated!

It seems to be a browsermob-proxy doc issue. The REST API needs update. and so do the client.py and readme.md here...
