The simplest way is probably to manually add the authentication 
header, as shown here:

This article discusses the above strategy, and a strategy using 
HTTPBasicAuthHandler with a password manager default realm (I think 
getting the realm correct is what has stymied me in my attempts to use 
handlers, rather than injecting the header):
