The "Basic" Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) authentication scheme, transmits credentials as user-id/password pairs, encoded using Base64.
The server will gather the credentials from the base64 encoded header value, and will validate them to authenticate the user in question.
This crate covers the credentials encoding and decoding. The Credentials struct provides two fields
user_id and password, these are filled with they raw values.
To install add the crate as follows to your dependencies list in your Cargo.toml.

Decoding a basic authorization value and creating a Credentials struct
from it
```rust use httpauthbasic::Credentials;
let authheadervalue = String::from("Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ="); let credentials = Credentials::fromheader(authheader_value).unwrap();
asserteq!(credentials.userid, String::from("username")); assert_eq!(credentials.password, String::from("password")); ```
Encoding Credentials into a basic authorization header value.
```rust use httpauthbasic::Credentials;
let credentials = Credentials::new("username", "password"); let credentials = credentials.ashttpheader();
assert_eq!(String::from("Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ="), credentials); ```
