Basic Auth API Tester
Test HTTP basic authentication against an API before wiring credentials into a script. Set a username and password once and it applies automatically as a Basic Authorization header on every request, no manual base64-encoding needed. Useful for verifying legacy API credentials or debugging a 401. Returns the status code and body so you know instantly whether the credentials are valid.
