BasicAuth about unirest-java HOT 3 CLOSED

I think basicAuth() holds good, since we are talking about specific authentication mechanism (i.e Basic Authentication) here in Unirest with basicAuth().

We know that JEE and some other third party libraries do use auth() as the method name since they do accept any kind of authentication mechanism like given below:

1. BASIC
2. DIGEST
3. FORM
4. CLIENT-CERT, or
5. Any vendor-specific authentication scheme.

I think this is the secret behind the naming convention for basicAuth() .. ;-)

I see the PHP lib supports other auth types. Will this lib only support basic? The PHP also shows the more generic "auth" method, then as a parameter you can specify what type.

We should look in the future to support specific headers for various token types (like Bearer tokens) but for how the header methods support this just file
