R: Use http authentication.

authenticate {httr} | R Documentation

## Use http authentication.

### Description

It's not obvious how to turn authentication off after using it, so I recommend using custom handles with authentication.

### Usage

    authenticate(user, password, type = "basic")

### Arguments

`user` | user name
`password` | password
`type` | type of HTTP authentication. Should be one of the following types supported by Curl: basic, digest, digest_ie, gssnegotiate, ntlm, any. It defaults to "basic", the most common type.

### See Also

Other config: `add_headers`, `config`, `set_cookies`, `timeout`, `use_proxy`, `user_agent`, `verbose`

### Examples

    GET("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd")
    GET("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd",
      authenticate("user", "passwd"))
