http-client comes with built-in basic auth support. Just put a username

That's what I tried first. :-/
Any hints welcome.
So far I have this:

If you want to pass a raw string through the request unparser, convert it
to a blob. Then it will be taken as-is, iirc.
Ah, great, that might do the trick. Will try tomorrow.
Cheers,

[Chicken-users] http-client help needed with basic authorization
I'm trying to use the http-client to talk to a Jira installation.
Without much success.

OAuth looks like wasteful overhead.
