You can also test the client Basic Auth support against the http-server/minimal-http-server-basicauth example. In one console window run the server and in the other
$ lws-minimal-http-client -l --nossl --path /secret/index.html --user user --password password
The Basic Auth credentials for the test server are literally username “user” and password “password”.
