Add Basic Authentication #86

Closed mrship closed 10 years ago

mrship commented 10 years ago

This adds a -A option to bees attack to allow the addition for basic authentication credentials, both to the initial ping URL and to the ab command that is run on each bee.

The format is the same as for the ab command, i.e. -A user:password. There is also a long version --basic_auth.
