options	{ auth : ['username', 'password'] }

Example Usage

Request

{% set client = {
 base_uri : 'https://gtmetrix.com',
 timeout : 10
} %}

{% set options = {
 auth : ['username', 'password'],
 form_params : {
 url : 'https://www.google.co.uk'
 }
} %}

{% set request = fetch(client, 'POST', 'api/0.1/test', options) %}

Response (successful)

{
 "statusCode":200,
 "reason":"OK",
