API Testing Challenges 29 - How To - authentication failed 401

How to complete the authentication failed with username and password challenge number 29, which returns a status code of 401.

Issue a POST request on the `/secret/token` end point and receive 401 when Basic auth username/password is not admin/password

- `POST` request means use the HTTP Verb POST
- e.g. `POST /secret/token` sends to the heartbeat endpoint
- `username/password is not admin/password` the authorisation header value is base 64 encoded, and the details should not match `admin` as the username, and `password` for the password
- add the `X-CHALLENGER` header to track progress and because the authentication code we need is asociated with the `X-challenger` session
- Receive a 401 response
