Description

Description

Authorization argument format

There is an generator argument [(-a | --auth )], which is poorly described in README.
Could you please extend a documentation? It is not obvious that login:pass shoud be Base64 encoded.

Research direction

Start in the README documentation for the generator arguments, locating the description of -a and --auth . Clarify the expected login:pass encoding there, and consider the work done when the README makes this format unambiguous.
