title: Objective-c HTTP Basic authentication
body: <p>How would i go about replicating this in objective-c</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -u rick@email.com:mypassword http://foo.lighthouseapp.com/projects.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've been playing around with the ASIHTTPRequest library but can't seem to figure it out,</p>
  
  <p>obviously sending my request like so returns an authentication error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(void)submit:(id)sender {
      NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://ldn.lighthouseapp.com/projects/63254-londonist-20/tickets.xml"];
      ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
      [request startSynchronous];
      NSError *error = [request error];
      if (!error) {
          NSString *response = [request responseString];
          NSLog(@"response:%@",response);
      } else {
          NSLog(@"error:%@",error);
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is probably very simple i'm just missing something pretty major</p>
