Support basic authentication header in WMS GetMap request?

[bangph]

We have a server which supports WMS but it requires basic authentication header (with a user's credentials) from WebWorldWind client. It would be great if the constructor of https://nasaworldwind.github.io/WebWorldWind/WmsLayer.html can allow having some configurations which can be sent as HTTP request's header.

I think there is no workaround now to do it outside of WebWorldWind to attach HTTP header to WMS GetMap requests invoked by WebWorldWind?. Currently, we use WebWorldWind as the default WMS client and this problem blocks me to use it with the secured server.

We'd like to contribute this feature to web world wind, but I couldn't find information on how the process works. Could somebody point me in the right direction?
