//  Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
//  Otherwise you'll get this error:

//  401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
//  
//  Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
//  
//  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
//  RewriteEngine On
//  RewriteBase /
//  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
//  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
//  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
//  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
//  </IfModule>
//  # END WordPress
//  
//  Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
//  Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
//  
//  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
//  RewriteEngine On
//  RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
//  RewriteBase /
//  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
