Add http basic auth

[maffinca69]

There are images that are not accessible from the outside and can be accessed either from a specific network or under authorization. For example, https://user:password@google.com/example.png
Now in response to such a request we get an error:

{
  "status": "error",
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Unable to parse URI"
}

Will basic auth support be added in the future? Parse login and password and put them in headers

You should sent the request with headers, it should be passed to the upstream.

@giautm Where exactly should this be added (what config file)?
If I pass the headers in my request, it doesn't work either and the error remains the same

Is there anyone still using HTTP basic auth?
You could use something like proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic base64encodeduserpass";, but make sure to check the manuals and code-examples on this. It's not something we'd support in our public proxy.
