Dartpad sample for basic authentication

Try out the working demo on dartpad and httpbin.org/basic-auth to try out how to use

• Client
• Request and
• Response classes.

For more see my stackoverflow question and the reply

main.dart

import 'dart:convert' as convert;
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main(List<String> arguments) async {
  final urlHttpBin = Uri.https('httpbin.org', '/basic-auth/myuser/mypasswd');

  const base64Encoder = convert.Base64Encoder();
  var creds64 = base64Encoder.convert('myuser:mypasswd'.codeUnits);

  // https://pub.dev/documentation/http/latest/http/Client-class.html
  final client = http.Client();
  final request = http.Request('GET', urlHttpBin);

  request.headers['Authorization'] = 'Basic $creds64';

  // https://pub.dev/documentation/http/latest/http/StreamedResponse-class.html
  final streamedResponse = await client.send(request);
  // https://pub.dev/documentation/http/latest/http/Response/fromStream.html
  final response = await http.Response.fromStream(streamedResponse);

  // https://pub.dev/documentation/http/latest/http/Response-class.html
  print(response.body);
  client.close();
}
