This puts the password in plain text if you are not using https:

> {username: 'myname', password: 'mypassword'}

Hookbox has a nice way of passing the authentication, by using a combination of the username and a session cookie.
When you authenticate with hookbox, you get a web callback passing the session cookie id with the username which of course
your web application should know about as it generated the session cookie, and can map it to the username and can then allow
or deny the request..

Downside is of course that you have to provide this mechanism in your web application.
