Sending JSON with Basic Authentication Credentials
To post JSON to a server with Basic Authentication credentials, you need to make an HTTP POST or PUT request, include the JSON in the body of the HTTP message, and pass the "Authorization: Basic [token]" HTTP header to the server.
The [token] is a Base64 encoded string of user credentials in the form of a login:password string.
In this POST JSON with a Basic Authentication Credentials Example, we send a POST request with JSON body and "Authorization: Basic [token]" header to the ReqBin echo URL.
