    There is no username, just a password.

    I do not think that we are RFC2617 compliant, I will look into it though.

    *For everyone:

    RFC2617 has now been updated by RFC7235: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7235

    The username is the empty string. We conform to HTTP Basic Auth as described in RFC 2617, so if the password is "foobar" the correct header to send in the API would be the base 64 encoded version of ":foobar" like so.
    Authorization: Basic OmZvb2Jhcg==
