Authentication ============== Many requests that you make will require authentication of some type. Requests includes support out of the box for HTTP Basic authentication, with more built-ins coming soon. Making a Basic authenticated call is ridiculously easy: ```php $options = array( 'auth' => new Requests_Auth_Basic(array('user', 'password')) ); Requests::get('http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/password', array(), $options); ``` As Basic authentication is usually what you want when you specify a username and password, you can also just pass in an array as a shorthand: ```php $options = array( 'auth' => array('user', 'password') ); Requests::get('http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/password', array(), $options); ``` Note that POST/PUT can also take a data parameter, so you also need that before `$options`: ```php Requests::post('http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/password', array(), null, $options); ```
