curl. Basic authentication

Specify the user name and password to use for server authentication:

curl --user <name>:<password> http://www.test.com

If you simply specify the user name, curl will prompt for a password:

curl --user <name> http://www.test.com

Also you can encrypt name and password before sending your curl request:

curl -H "Authorization: Basic <your_token>" http://www.test.com

where <your_token> is being generated like that:

-ne "<name>:<password>" | base64 --wrap 0
