auth option on cy.visit doesn't seem to work with "https" domain

[pablote]

Current behavior:

I get an "Unauthorized" error when trying to access an https site using the auth option in cy.visit().

Authentication is set like this:

Cypress.Commands.overwrite('visit', (orig, url, options) => {
    options = options || {};
    options.auth = {
      username: Cypress.env('AUTH_USER'),
      password: Cypress.env('AUTH_PASS')
    };
    return orig(url, options)
});

If I set the same username/password in the url instead before the host name, then it works fine:

Bad thing about this is, username/password on the url works fine on chrome but not on electron: #1639.

So right now I'm unable to test an https site headless from CI.

Desired behavior:

I can access https site, using auth option.

Steps to reproduce:

Try to access an https site, with basic security, and use the auth option in cy.visit() to authenticate.

Versions

Cypress 2.1.0
