Basic auth in options

[ghost]

Is it possible to set basic auth in options instead of having it in the url (http://username:password@domain.com)?

Eg.

request.get(uri, {
  username: 'foo',
  password: 'bar'
}, callback);

This'd be convenient for us too. =)

i'd prefer this was an option called basicAuth and was

{ basicAuth: ['username', 'password'] }

This is implemented as auth option now.
