2.3.3. Authentication
Enabling authentication is an optional security feature that can be enabled
on Transmission RPC servers. Authentication occurs by method of HTTP Basic
Access Authentication.
If authentication is enabled, Transmission inspects the "Authorization:"
HTTP header value to validate the credentials of the request. The value
of this HTTP header is expected to be "Basic <b64 credentials>", where
<b64 credentials> is equal to a base64 encoded string of the username
and password (respectively), separated by a colon.
