Basic Auth support #22

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
My API provider (Pingdom) requires HTTP Basic Auth when calling their API 
methods. I don´t see any way to do it, other than manually adding a HTTP 
header with the correct encoding (Authorization: Basic base64), which is 
cumbersome

Actually when You start typing Authorization in header form app will fill 
suggestion about "Authorization" header. Next when You click in value field 
"construct" popup will show. When You click on it You'll see dialog with 
options to provide auth data (basic or OAuth).
This header will be in all request until You remove it. And still You can save 
request form data and restore it later (ctr+s and ctrl+o). I have done form 
save to not to fill headers all the time when I need to use it.
