    // To use HTTP Basic authentication:
    http.put_Login(L"myLogin");
    http.put_Password(L"myPassword");
    http.put_BasicAuth(true);

    // Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
    // (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)
    const wchar_t *jsonResponse = http.quickGetStr(L"https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/myLogin/myPassword");
    if (http.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",http.lastErrorText());

    }

    wprintf(L"Response status code: %d\n",http.get_LastStatus());

    wprintf(L"%s\n",jsonResponse);

    // Output:

    // Response status code: 200
    // {
    //   "authenticated": true, 
    //   "user": "myLogin"
    // }
