Please add support of HTTP Auth (basic and digest)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Well I can add these headers by myself (and calculate hashes), but why?
Software should automate all dirty work for humans, so - why not add here a 
possibility to enter username\password for any request and rest-client will 
calculate and insert headers when they needed.
Thanx in advance.

I believe when you switch to "form" view and type "Authorization" in header 
name helper for header value will show. When you click "Construct" you will see 
this options.

I also would love to have this functionality. Note that Jarro's suggestion is 
not enough as the extension at the moment doesn't construct HTTP Digest 
Authentication tokens.
