HTTP Basic/Digest authentication

[Gregory Neagle]

I have a fork of Imagr here: https://github.com/gregneagle/imagr that implements HTTP Basic and Digest authentication for the workflows.plist.

Imagr requests the workflow.plist. 

Server responds with 401 Authentication Required.

Imagr displays a credentials dialog.

User enters credentials.

Imagr re-requests the workflow.plist with the provided creds.
Server validates the credentials with whatever mechanism it wants -- this could be backed by LDAP or AD, or whatever mechanism you can implement on your web server.

I would like some people to kick it around a bit before I make a Pull Request to Graham.

Note: you don't have to go to the effort of building a new NBI, etc. To test the new functionality, you can just run Imagr locally from Xcode, and use `defaults write com.grahamgilbert.Imagr serverurl <a workflows.plist url that requires authentication>` to point it at a testing URL.

Took it for a test spin this afternoon and it works as I would expect.  I think this would be a helpful feature in my environment.
