Thanks for doing this

@bufdev, FYI, I just pushed a commit to add a blurb about this change to the changelog.

I just realized this doesn't work as expected. It tags the Authorization header, but it's not sending Basic since this is basic auth. Not sure how this interacts with --netrc or what expectations are there, but strictly for --user, the intention is to send along as basic auth.

Right now, if I do:

$ buf curl -v -u foo:bar ...

I end up with a request such as:

buf: > (#1) Authorization: Zm9vOmJhcg==

And the expectation is this would be:

Authorization: Basic Zm9vOmJhcg==

Otherwise, the auth is invalid.

Edit: It seems based on my very limited understanding and my basic testing of a ~/.netrc file with curl, it also sends the credentials as Basic auth.

PR to fix: #2096

Feel free to implement this however, but this gets it working. :)

@mattrobenolt 🤦 , not sure how I missed this. I thought I had tried this out with real credentials to a BSR to verify, but maybe I imagined that. I know I did quite a lot of buf curl -v and inspecting the headers. I am embarrassed a bug this bad made it into a release. Thank you for the PR.

haha @jhump, no worries. Happens to us all. 🫶
