How to send authorization in GET request using REST::Client?

j1n3l0 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

How do you send the authorization through (in the form of a username and password) in a GET request when using REST::Client? I am doing something simple like this:

perl -MREST::Client -E 'say REST::Client->new->GET(shift)->responseContent' ${URL}

It seems to me like there is a simple solution but it escapes me at the moment :(

According to REST::Client , it only supports certificate/key or pkcs12/pkcs12password, so to get some kind of username/password option, you would have to subclass REST::Client	[reply]
