Authorizationheader viaK6_OTEL_HEADERSit is a bit inconvenient when used through Kubernetes secrets. Eg a secret would have to include the valueAuthorization= Basic <base64(user+":"password)>. It is simpler to pass username and password.Checklist
make check) and all pass.Checklist: Documentation (only for k6 maintainers and if relevant)
