NOTE: Requests without authorization will be met with a HTTP 401 Unauthorized message. Web browsers will generally intercept this message and prompt the user for credentials. The browser will then properly build the Authentication header and send it with the request.
When the user agent wants to send the server authentication credentials it may use the Authorization header. The Authorization header is constructed as follows:Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

x <- getURL("https://key:secret@tickapi.tickdata.com//stream?COLLECTION_TYPE=COLLECTION_TYPE.FUTURES...");
Where key:secret is to be replaced with your username and password.
However, if you are have an @ sign in your user id, and cannot use the syntax
getURL("https://tickapi.tickdata.com/....", userpwd="key:secret")
where key:secret would be replaced with your user id, password:
getURL("https://tickapi.tickdata.com/....", userpwd="user@domain:my$pecia1Passw0rd")
