Create a new user

If your application has a sign up form to allow users to create an account, your app can create users by sending POST /1/user with a user sign up JSON:

{
    "username" : "bob",
    "password" : "*****",
    "email" : "bob@dog.com"
}

Once a user is created, you can authenticate requests with an Authorization header using Basic scheme and providing the user username and password, BASE64 encoded.

Example:

GET /1/data HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic ZG9jOmhpIGRvYw==

Log in a user

To log in a user, send a GET /1/login with an Authorization header using Basic scheme. Log in is not mandatory since, all requests are authenticated the same way. It is a convenient method to check whether the user credentials are valid or not before going further.
