HTTPBasic

public struct HTTPBasic : ClientCredentials

A struct for providing HTTP basic credentials to a KituraKit route. The struct is initialized with a username and password, which will be used to authenticate the user. This client route mirrors a Kitura Codable route that implements TypeSafeHTTPBasic authentication to verify a users identity.

Usage Example:

struct User: Codable {
   let name: String
}

client.get("/protected", credentials: HTTPBasic(username: "John", password: "12345")) { (user: User?, error: RequestError?) -> Void in
   guard let user = user else {
       print("failed request: \(error)")
   }
   print("Successfully authenticated and recieved \(user)")
}
