username/password not supported

[srl295]

looks like Basic auth could be supported with a dependency on https://www.npmjs.com/package/basic-authorization-header

Why would you pull a dependency?

You'd just need to do something approximately like this:

const buildAuthHeader = (name, pass) => {
    const authString = `${name}:${pass}`
    return `Basic ${Buffer.from(authString).toString('base64')}`
}

Also, I presume you meant to refer to this? If so, that module is old enough that it triggers deprecation warnings on current versions of node due to the use of new Buffer().

@dwrss true. no dep needed.
