Basic auth support

[someone-stole-my-name]

Hello,

Would it be possible to add support for basic authentication in the Firefox extension? Is the extension code open sourced somewhere?

The extension throws the following error when using https://foo:[email protected]/v2:

Cannot connect to https://foo:[email protected]/v2/check - please check your internet connection or try again in a minute (#1, code=undefined)

This would be great addition for Firefox addon as well as Thunderbird, Chrome and Libre/Open Office plugins. Currently, I don't find any way how to limit access to publicly running LanguageTool server except for blocking IPs which is not practical.

I ended up exposing LanguageTool under a “secret” URL and hoping for the best 🤷
