Cannot specify auth in initialization object
[Original issue](https://github.com/dscape/nano/issues/336)
__timwis__
I'd like to pass a username and password to nano without storing it in the
couchdb url string, so that the url string can be used in other parts of the
application that require separate authentication. The documentation suggests I
can pass an auth object into the requestDefaults property of the initialization
object, like this:
var db = require('nano')({
url: 'http://localhost:5984',
requestDefaults: {
auth: { user: 'admin', pass: 'foo' }
}
})
But this seems to have no effect on the request, resulting in the standard
401 unauthorized error. Passing the same user/pass as part of the url
(http://admin:foo@localhost:5984) works fine.
In the meantime, I'm getting around this using a function that deconstructs
the url, adds in the user/pass, and reconstructs it. But I'd prefer this
cleaner approach.
I also tried upgrading the version of request and I think I did it
correctly... Am I doing it wrong or is this a bug?
