| authenticate {httr} | R Documentation |
It's not obvious how to turn authentication off after using it, so I recommend using custom handles with authentication.
authenticate(user, password, type = "basic")
user |
user name |
password |
password |
type |
type of HTTP authentication. Should be one of the following types supported by Curl: basic, digest, digest_ie, gssnegotiate, ntlm, any. It defaults to "basic", the most common type. |
Other config: add_headers,
config, set_cookies,
timeout, use_proxy,
user_agent, verbose

GET("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd",
