Unable to use http.setAuthorization for ESPhttpUpdate

[pjunni]

I did not find a way to use http.setAuthorization for ESPhttpUpdate, but I solved the issue by adding the line http.setAuthorization("username","password"); on line 181 in https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/ESP8266httpUpdate/src/ESP8266httpUpdate.cpp. Is there a more "correct" way to do this or could there be an overloaded handleUpdate function that takes these "username" and "password" and pass them into http.setAuthorization("username","password");?

@pjunni if I understand the request correctly, what you want to do is update from a webserver that requires user/pass. Is that correct?

[pjunni]

@devyte That's correct.

@devyte Would you have any suggestions on this matter?
