use basic authentication instead of digest #56

I am trying to CURL on Home Assistant to control the cameras. HTTP Digest Authentication is not supported. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rest_command/

As far as I understand, basic auth is sent in plain text, while digest is sent in hash. Digest type is indeed more secure. However, I believe most use case would be in LAN. Even it is used via Internet, HTTPS is widely used nowadays. Credentials sent in basic auth is encrypted in HTTPS.

May I suggest to switch to basic auth, for easy integration?

Thank you very much.

If the access is within a LAN, wouldn't there be a need for password authentication? In the case of BASIC authentication over http, I don't think there is any point in password authentication since the raw password is visible.

No problem. I have found a workaround. Thanks.
