How to use http.client in Node.js if there is basic authorization

by

You have to set the Authorization field in the header.

It contains the authentication type Basic in this case and the username:password combination which gets encoded in Base64:

var username="Test";
var password = '123';
var auth="Basic " + Buffer.from(username + ':' + password).toString('base64');
// new Buffer() is deprecated from v6

// auth is: 'Basic VGVzdDoxMjM='

var header = {'Host': 'www.example.com', 'Authorization': auth};
var request = client.request('GET', "https://stackoverflow.com/", header);
