how to use simple "auth" for API_KEY in post request

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Hey, I want to send payload for that I want to set auth. In javascript axios I can do it like this

const res = await axios.post('https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/foo/bar', {
  // Axios looks for the `auth` option, and, if it is set, formats a
  // basic auth header for you automatically.
  auth: {
    username: 'my_key',
  }
});

not sure how to achieve this in HTTP.jl

The only only auth related stuff I found is basicauth where it sets "Basic _____" Authorization in header. But Authorization and api auth are different things

axios.get(webApiUrl, { headers: {"Authorization" : `Bearer ${tokenStr}`} });

???

from google

API keys if you expect developers to build internal applications that don't need to access more than a single user's data. Use OAuth access tokens if you want users to easily provide authorization to applications

the problem was API_KEY has to be a username from the python implementation I saw: auth = HTTPBasicAuth(write_key, '')

which is base encoded by basicauth in our HTTP.jl here:

HTTP.jl/src/clientlayers/BasicAuthRequest.jl

Lines 13 to 24 in a3a5768

	function basicauthlayer(handler)
	return function(req; basicauth::Bool=true, kw...)
	if basicauth
	userinfo = unescapeuri(req.url.userinfo)
	if !isempty(userinfo) && !hasheader(req.headers, "Authorization")
	@debugv 1 "Adding Authorization: Basic header."
	setheader(req.headers, "Authorization" => "Basic $(base64encode(userinfo))")
	end
	end
	return handler(req; kw...)
	end
	end

and then passed as "Authorization" => "Basic $(base64encode(userinfo))"
