by jasper.timm:

For completeness sake it seems that, considering there is a SetBasicAuth method in
net/http which can be used to set the 'Authorization' header in a request, there should
be an equivalent method to GetBasicAuth credentials from a request as well, which given
a request would return the username and password given in the 'Authorization' header.

Ping ;-) GetBasicAuth urgently needed.

Comment 9:

This is not "urgently" needed, because it can be done trivially anywhere else. Urgent
would mean you're incapable of doing it otherwise and your site is going down because Go
has a memory leak or is crashing. This is pretty much the least urgent thing ever.
But I agree it makes sense for symmetry.

net/http: add BasicAuth method to *http.Request
5f2765f 
The net/http package supports setting the HTTP Authorization header
using the Basic Authentication Scheme as defined in RFC 2617, but does
not provide support for extracting the username and password from an
authenticated request using the Basic Authentication Scheme.

Add BasicAuth method to *http.Request that returns the username and
password from authenticated requests using the Basic Authentication
Scheme.

Fixes golang#6779.
