Document how to fetch websites with basic auth #107

Closed julkue closed 7 years ago

julkue commented 7 years ago

Our development servers are protected with basic auth. I'd like to test them but the tool only answers failed to fetch (status code: 401).

You need to provide auth username and password from command line

e.g. $ a11ym https://www.test.com --http-auth-user --http-auth-password

I haven't seen your question, sorry.

@sparshi is right :+1:

There's no question, it's more a solicitation

I mean something like a dedicated basic auth section. However, as you've at least documented --http-auth-user <http_auth_user> Username to authenticate all HTTP requests. it's fine for me currently.
