[Feature request] To allow bearer tokens as part of basic auth

[G0nz0uk]

Hello,

We use this wonderful plugin quite a bit, but we have a new API which requires the bearer token to be obtained first then reused with the basic auth, much like this chap who also has the same issue

I think this is becoming more common.

Do you think this might be a possibility this could be looked into in the future?

Thanks

When we manually got to a particular API using basic authentication we are issued with a bearer token which we then have to use after as part of the sign in process to gain access to the json information.

It would be monumental it this could be introduced.

I just found this request, and while not identical for the token source, I guest this is the same pattern I'm asking for: Getting a bearer token from a different URL and Auth type. I have a "workaround" which I believe can be replicated for other Auth type but this is definitely not ideal:
