+Authentication
+==============
+
+sttp supports basic and bearer-token based authentication. In both cases, an ``Authorization`` header is added with the appropriate credentials.
+
+Basic authentication, using which the username and password are encoded using Base64, can be added as follows::
+
+  sttp.auth.basic(username, password)
+
+A bearer token can be added using::
+
+  sttp.auth.bearer(token)
