Any plans to have the SDK support Basic Authentication? I'm interacting with a splunk server setup that for some reason has more reliable results when using that over splunk auth token mechanism and would like to try setting the SDK using basic auth to verify/benchmark etc.

splunk-sdk-ruby/lib/splunk-sdk-ruby/context.rb

Line 424 in 549526e

request["Authorization"] = "Splunk #{@token}" if @token

splunk-sdk-ruby/lib/splunk-sdk-ruby/entity/index.rb

Line 65 in 549526e

"Authorization: Splunk #{@service.token}\r\n" +
