Description

First of all, thanks for this awesome project!

I'm currently developing a debugging feature (nrepl-in instead of ssh-in) for a project I'm working in.
For obvious security reasons, I'm setting authentication for nrepl on the server side (using ring-basic-authentication), but currently the drawbridge client doesn't contain authentication options.

With some guidance I could implement this myself.

Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by reviewing the drawbridge client and how it builds requests for the HTTP/HTTPS nREPL transport, then read the issue discussion for the expected authentication options. Done should mean the client can authenticate against a server protected with ring-basic-authentication, with the supported behavior and tests documented.
