New Feature - support basic HTTP auth

[stevenvachon]

In what way -- a user/password prompt? I'm not quite sure what the request is for exactly.

[sparkalow]

Sorry, allow crawling of pages that are secured behind basic HTTP authentication.

Would require a way to set a username and password or support the protocol in the url scheme

blc http://username:passwurd@example.com -ro

[stevenvachon]

Interesting. Will have to test this. If not in the summer, in the fall.

blc seems not to follow the authentication when using blc "http://example.com/?user=username&password=password" -ro and http://username:password@example.com does not work for me.

v0.8.0 branch supports this, but it has edge cases.

[akris100]

When is v0.8.0 expected?

[brunomartinspro]

Seems like the v0.8.0 branch was merged but the NPM package did not get released.
@stevenvachon is it possible to trigger a build in the pipeline to deploy the latest package?
