Got: HTTP Basic Auth

[canac]

Does got support HTTP basic auth? The code references an auth option, but none seems to currently exist. Of course, I can manually base64 encode my authentication data and pass it in through the Authorization header, but I would expect an HTTP request library to do that for me.

It's right in the linked Node.js docs: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback

OK, now I see that the documentation says the options argument supports "any of the http.request options." I should have read it more carefully. Thanks for making this awesome module; it's a pleasure to use it!
