How can I setup an nginx proxy_pass directive that will also include HTTP Basic authentication information sent to the proxy host?
This is an example of the URL I need to proxy to:
http://username:[email protected]/export?uuid=1234567890
The end goal is to allow 1 server present files from another server (the one we're proxying to) without exposing the URI of the proxy server. I have this working 90% correct now from following the Nginx config found here:

I just need to add in the HTTP Basic authentication to send to the proxy server
