AuthenticationInterceptor

public final class AuthenticationInterceptor : Interceptor

Implementation of a request interceptor which handles authentication. Currently there are four different authentication methods provided which are none, basicAuthentication, bearerToken and custom. To be able to be highly flexible to also being able to switch between authentication methods, we provided the possibility to pass in an autoclosure which is evaluated when this request is being intercepted.
