## Example explorers hitting a web endpoint with Basic Auth, when you already have a token in hand

$key = "sk_test_mkGsLqEW6SLnZa487HYfJVLf"
$url = "https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges"

# this will work, but the flow in Basic Auth will first ask you for a password to go with the 
# value passed in, which serves as the username. You hit enter because the password is null. 
# Then the response comes back... BUT - this also involved a round-trip to the server (which
# returns a 401, but also a Response header indicating that is speaks Basic Auth:
#     Www-Authenticate: Basic realm="Stripe"
