Possibility for Basic Auth

opened 12:40PM - 23 May 24 UTC

## Bug report ### Required System information - Node.js version: v18.18.2 - NPM version: 9.8.1 - Strapi version: 4.19.0 - Database: Postgres - Operating system: Mac - Is your project Javascript or Typescript: Typescript ### Describe the bug I'm trying to add Basic Auth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication) to my Strapi application, but I'm met with the following issue when I do so: https://forum.strapi.io/t/infinite-redirect-loop-first-admin/38299/2 ### Steps to reproduce the behavior 1. Deploy Strapi 2. Add Basic Auth to the domain ### Expected behavior I would expect this to work, but instead I'm getting the error as described in the forum post. ### Code snippets The problem is with the `fetchClient`. In there the Authorization header is set to `Bearer ${auth.getToken()}`. Because that header doesn't include the Basic auth this problem occurs. ### Proposed solution We could probably include both Basic auth AND Bearer token in the Authorization header. If you guys agree with this solution I could write up a PR. ### Additional context I've tried setting the `url` in the `config/server.js` to include the Basic auth in the URL like so: `http://username:password@127.0.0.1:1337` but that didn't work.
