Basic HTTP Authentication (REST)
When you make a REST API call from one webserver to another, you may add HTTP username (or email address) and passwords to your RESTful HTTP requests.
b2evolution will check the provided username (or email address) and password to allow privileges on certain calls (modifying users, seeing private posts, etc.)
