PowerShell’s Invoke-RestMethod equivalent of curl -u (Basic Authentication)

This is the only method that worked for me so far:

$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))

Invoke-RestMethod -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} ...

But I don’t believe there isn’t a better way.
