## Overview
<!-- Please give a short brief for the pull request,
what problem it solves or how it makes things better. -->
The instructions for creating the HMAC token (recommended for proxy
authentication) aren't specific enough for developers to actually create a
token from a username and secret. This PR clarifies the instructions, adds an
example (using openssl) of creating the token and then adds it to the example
HTTP request.
## Testing recommendations
<!-- Describe how we can test your changes.
Does it provides any behaviour that the end users
could notice? -->
- Make sure documentation and syntax highlighting look okay on webpage
- Check that the example openssl command works and produces the same HMAC
