BASIC Authentication

The basicAuth() method can be used to quickly enable BASIC authentication support.

Example

// Create a client that performs BASIC authentication using the specified user/pw.
RestClient client = RestClient.create()
    .basicAuth(HOST, PORT, USER, PW)
    .build();

This is functionally equivalent to the following:

RestClient.Builder builder = RestClient.create();
AuthScope scope = new AuthScope(HOST, PORT);
Credentials up = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(USER, PW);
CredentialsProvider provider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
provider.setCredentials(scope, up);
builder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(provider);
