You can create the authorization string yourself assuming you know the  
name and password . The following should do it:

set the httpHeaders to "Authorization: Basic " & basicAuthString 
("myName","myPassword")

function basicAuthString pName, pPass
    return  base64Encode(pName & ":" & pPass)
end basicAuthString

This is for the Basic authentication scheme only.
