What I want to establish
I want to create a custom post from an external website using WP REST API. The target website (where the post should be created) is protected with basic auth.
What I have done so far
Created an user with application password and created the request for the REST API.
Current state
The request is working as long as there is no basic auth at the target website. If the basic auth is activated with htpasswd the request failed with "authentication error".
It is clear to me that this is caused by the duplicate basic auth for the htpasswd and application password, but is there any other solution to this? The target website has to be protected because it is the development instance.
