wp_populate_basic_auth_from_authorization_header()
Populates the Basic Auth server details from the Authorization header.
Description
Some servers running in CGI or FastCGI mode don’t pass the Authorization header on to WordPress. If it’s been rewritten to the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
header, fill in the proper $_SERVER variables instead.
