The "Basic" HTTP authentication scheme, transmits credentials as user username/password pairs, encoded
using base64.
The Authorization field is constructed as follows:
 The username and password are combined with a single colon (:). This means that the username
itself cannot contain a colon.
 The character set to use for this encoding is UTF-8.
 The resulting string is encoded using Base64.
 The user name and password are unencrypted base64 encoded text. It is recommended to be used
with HTTPS, as the password can be captured over HTTP.
 The authorization method and a space (e.g. "Basic ") is then prepended to the encoded string.
For example:
• Username: sensus
• Password: passwdtest
The field's value is the base64-encoding of sensus:passwdtest or c2Vuc3VzOnBhc3N3ZHRlc3Q=.
Then the Authorization header will appear as:
Authorization: Basic c2Vuc3VzOnBhc3N3ZHRlc3Q=.
The Server should validate the username and password and respond:
 HTTP 200 means configuration is OK
 HTTP 401 means invalid username or password
 HTTP 404 means invalid URL
