Custom headers HTTP protected site

[Jim Ault]

This  basicAuthString()   tip definitely goes in my OnRev-CGI Info  
folder

Of course everyone around the globe now knows my super-secret password  
to the American baseball statistics site for fantasy play.
Now that it is the baseball off-season, who cares.
And by Springtime when the season starts, it will automatically change  
anyway.
I'll be notified by email.

Good stuff.
