Basic authentication not working in Alertmanager v.0.15.0

[m.n...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to use basic authentication in Alertmanager v.0.15.0 by configuring a receiver with basic_auth in http_config in the following way (alertmanager.yml):

global:
  resolve_timeout: 5m

route:
  group_by: ['alertname']
  group_wait: 1s
  group_interval: 1s
  repeat_interval: 1m
  receiver: user
receivers:
- name: 'user'
  webhook_configs:
  - url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8999/v1/event'
    send_resolved: true
    http_config:
      basic_auth:
        username: 'admin'
        password: 'password'


inhibit_rules:
  - source_match:
      severity: 'critical'
    target_match:
      severity: 'warning'
    equal: ['alertname', 'dev', 'instance'

In the receiver side I print the header of the request and I get just the following fields without Authorization header:

Content-Length : 2213
User-Agent : Alertmanager/0.15.0
Host : 127.0.0.1:8999
Content-Type : application/json

Do I have something wrong with the configuration file? or something is messing?!

That looks like a bug, can you file one please?
