auth_username cannot be templated

[klambrec]

Hi !

First of all, thank you the effort on this handy little project, This is already the 2nd time it comes in handy while doing REST API development / validation. I seem to have found a limitation however. My API provides a token in the body which I get out using extract_binds. The API then expects this token in other requests as the "username" field of future requests but this field is unfortunately not templateable.

I wanted to note here that I tried to use template credentials today, and like the above, I was disappointed when it didn't work. My work around was to include the credentials in the URL (like https://username:password@host/my/api/v2 -- but that ends up including the password in log messages, which is non-ideal.
