If you are looking to force HttpClient 4 to authenticate with a single request, the following will work: String username = … String password = … UsernamePasswordCredentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password); HttpRequest request = … request.addHeader(new BasicScheme().authenticate(creds, request));
Seriously, just use requests: import requests resp = requests.post(url, data={}, auth=(‘user’, ‘pass’)) It’s a pure python library, installing is as easy as easy_install requests or pip install requests. It has an extremely simple and easy to use API, and it fixes bugs in urllib2 so you don’t have to. Don’t make your life harder because … Read more
The username:password is contained in the Authorization header as a base64-encoded string. Try this: const http = require(‘http’); http.createServer(function (req, res) { var header = req.headers.authorization || ”; // get the auth header var token = header.split(/\s+/).pop() || ”; // and the encoded auth token var auth = Buffer.from(token, ‘base64’).toString(); // convert from base64 var … Read more

ASP.NET Security will not include Basic Authentication middleware due to its potential insecurity and performance problems. If you require Basic Authentication middleware for testing purposes, then please look at https://github.com/blowdart/idunno.Authentication
The five-parameter version of the XMLHttpRequest.open method allows you to specify the username and password. (WHATWG spec) xhr.open(method, url, async, username, password)
It looks like you can’t use PostAsync and have access to mess with the Headers for authentication. I had to use an HttpRequestMessage and SendAsync. //setup reusable http client HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); Uri baseUri = new Uri(url); client.BaseAddress = baseUri; client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.ConnectionClose = true; //Post body content var values = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>(); … Read more
Found the solution in Spring security examples posted in Github. WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter has a overloaded configure message that takes WebSecurity as argument which accepts ant matchers on requests to be ignored. @Override public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception { web.ignoring().antMatchers(“/authFailure”); } See Spring Security Samples for more details
Best bet might be using an API key in the header (e.g. ‘Authorization: Token MY_API_KEY’) instead of as a url param: Advantages over HTTP Basic Auth: More convenient, as you can easily expire or regenerate tokens without affecting the user’s account password.
