+Long: basic
+Help: Use HTTP Basic Authentication
+See-also: proxy-basic
+Protocols: HTTP
+Category: auth
+---
+Tells curl to use HTTP Basic authentication with the remote host. This is the
+default and this option is usually pointless, unless you use it to override a
+previously set option that sets a different authentication method (such as
+--ntlm, --digest, or --negotiate).
+
+Used together with --user.
