Re: How do you do authentication with url.el?

[Dan LaManna]

This should work:

(let ((url-request-method "PUT")
      (url-request-extra-headers 
          `(("Authorization" . ,(concat "Basic "
                                        (base64-encode-string
                                         "user:token"))))))
  (url-retrieve-synchronously
"https://api.github.com/user/starred/Malabarba/EndlessParentheses";))

Left you a star ;)
