20       It supports the following targets for the prepare() method:
21
22       HTTP.Basic
23           HTTP Basic authentication, it returns a string that can be used for

30         # get the credential from somewhere
31         $cred = Authen::Credential->parse(...);
32
33         # use the prepare() method to get ready-to-use data
34         $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
