web services - Setting Authorization in Node.js SOAP Client

Question

I want to access a WSDL service through SOAP Client in Node.js. I used soap node module. But I can't able to find any documentation to set username and password. I'm not going to create SOAP server, I just want SOAPClient which is similar to PHP's SoapClient, using which I should able to access the WSDL service.

Update:

I had forked and customised the source to support this feature https://github.com/sincerekamal/node-soap

You can provide username and password like this:

var soap = require('soap');
var url = 'your WSDL url';
var auth = "Basic " + new Buffer("your username" + ":" + "your password").toString("base64");

soap.createClient(url, { wsdl_headers: {Authorization: auth} }, function(err, client) {
});
