Class Http_client.basic_auth_handler

class basic_auth_handler : ?enable_auth_in_advance:bool -> #key_handler -> auth_handler
Basic authentication. Authentication information is obtained by the passed key_handler.

enable_auth_in_advance: If set to true, authentication can be done in advance, i.e. before the server requests authentication. This reduces the number of messages exchanged with the server, but may be an additional security risk.
