+Note that you can also use for basic authentication a trick using the URL itself, as specified in [RFC 1738](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt). 
+Simply pass the `user:password` before the host with an `@` sign.
+
+```javascript
+var username = 'username',
+    password = 'password',
+    url = 'http://' + username + ':' + password + '@some.server.com';
+
+request({url: url}, function (error, response, body) {
+   // Do more stuff with 'body' here
+});

 Digest authentication is supported, but it only works with `sendImmediately` set to `false`; otherwise `request` will send basic authentication on the initial request, which will probably cause the request to fail.
