Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an option. "Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..." Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing. Closes #13106

# `--basic`
|
|
|
|
Use HTTP Basic authentication with the remote host. This method is the default
|
|
and this option is usually pointless, unless you use it to override a
|
|
previously set option that sets a different authentication method (such as
|
|
--ntlm, --digest, or --negotiate).
|
|
|
|
Used together with --user.
