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. 

<script>
      var USERNAME="admi";
      var PASSWORD="chanud";

      var person = {
        firstName:"tester2",
        lastName:"drupal",
        userName:"tester2drupal",
        eMail:"teter2@drupalvip.com",
        pass1:"teter2drupal",
        passConfirm:"teter2drupal",
        role:"Affiliate" 
      };
      
      $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: 'https://mydomain/api/route',
        dataType: 'json',
        headers: {
         "Authorization": "Basic " + btoa(USERNAME + ":" + PASSWORD)
        },
        data: person,
        //data: JSON.stringify(person),
        success: function (data) {
          $("response").html(data.msg);
        },
