    // To use HTTP Basic authentication:
    http.put_Login("myLogin");
    http.put_Password("myPassword");
    http.put_BasicAuth(true);

    // Run the test using this URL with the credentials above.  
    // (Works while httpbin.org keeps the test endpoint available.)

    std::cout << "Response status code: " << http.get_LastStatus() << "\r\n";

    std::cout << jsonResponse << "\r\n";

    // Output:

    // Response status code: 200
    // {
    //   "authenticated": true, 
    //   "user": "myLogin"
    // }
