Authenticate requests

To connect to IPFS, Infura requires the Authorization HTTP header.
Authorization: Basic <base64(USERNAME:PASSWORD)>
Username is the API_KEY and password is the API_KEY_SECRET.
Find your authorization credentials in the project's settings page after you register your Infura account and create a new project.
