Could use ability to package basic auth credentials

[KARR, DAVID (ATTCINW)]

I'm working on a REST-based application using Apache CXF, which
implements the JAX-RS specification. I'm now at the point where I need
to implement channel authorization. I intended to send basic auth
credentials in order to get a session id. It appears that Trestle
doesn't know about basic auth. I could conceivably do the work to
create the HTTP header for this, but that's somewhat annoying, as it
requires doing the base64 conversion to produce the value for the
header. It would be more convenient if the application could produce
this from the principal and credentials provided by the user.

Agreed, I think we can get this into the next release. It should be a
pretty simple thing to do.
