Please consider adding http authentication support

Issue #9 wontfix
Former user created an issue

As the recommended way to secure a single user tiny tiny rss instance is to use external authentication I, like many others use http basic authentication for securing my instance. (I used to do digest but it was giving me a lot of incompatibility issues with mobile apps and so I switched to self signed ssl and basic auth) I noticed that ttrss-watcher doesn't support it. If I load ttrss in the browser once the addon starts working but it doesn't present the login window if it's the first to hit the ttrss instance (the way nagios checker would for example)

Thanks a lot for a useful addon.

    Adding the functionality to have the window come up seems to be a bit tricky for me.

    Have you considered to add your credentials directly to the URL? Something like this http://username:password@your-tt-rss-url.com/ should work right away.
