    generate a username/password

echo -n beep:boop | base64

Note: it's important to use -n otherwise echo will add a line break and that can be a time consuming error to debug when you find your username/password isn't working ;-) if you do find you need to debug, then use curl with the -v flag and inspect the request headers being sent and make sure your base64 encoded username/password matches what curl generates for the Authorization header when using the --user flag (see below curl examples)
