Support for websites that want a username/password about suckit HOT 6 CLOSED

I suggest basic_auth because we may encounter different domain with different username/password. This way before making a request, we could fetch in a data structure (maybe a hashtable) a username/password.

From the command line, we need to be able to specify triplets separated with a , (or something else) with domain/username/password.
Reading from a file the same data could be better at first

@Skallwar I'm interested in taking this on if it's available!

Go ahead ;)

@Skallwar from looking into this a bit, it looks like HTTP basic auth is already supported by reqwest if you supply the credentials in the URL itself like "https://username:[email protected]/". Is this still something you'd want to implement command line options for?

If so, from what I'm seeing we could either set default HTTP basic auth headers in the client field of Downloader which would require adding the base64 crate as an explicit dependency (because reqwest only has a helper method for RequestBuilder), or we could add username and password fields to Downloader that are set either on each URL or on each request.

Let me know what you think the best approach is, thanks!
