This class allows HTTP basic authentication.
Basic authentication allows a client application to authenticate with username and password. Important: Because the password is transmitted to the server in plain-text, this method is not secure unless you provide some form of transport layer security.
However, basic authentication can be the correct choice for your application in some circumstances, e.g., for debugging purposes or if you have a proxy in between that does not support NTLM, if your application communicates via TLS encrypted HTTP.
