Adding basic access authentication

[khelll]

Is it doable to add support for websites using basic access authentication?. This is goint to be helpful for web services as well. Bascially, we need to add username/password per monitored component:

{
 //other settings,
"username": "someone",
"password": "somepass"
}

It is an extra HTTP header (i think Authorization: Basic <hash>)

We could add support for configuring additional http headers

You can simply add the username and password to the URL ➡️ https://someone:somepass@example.com.
