                If `auto_error` is set to `False`, when the HTTP Basic authentication
                is not available, instead of erroring out, the dependency result will
                be `None`.

                This is useful when you want to have optional authentication.

                It is also useful when you want to have authentication that can be

# `Request` class

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency to be of type `Request` and then you can access the raw request object directly, without any validation, etc.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import Request
```

    # to be read from files and other types, but I'm not even sure it's a good idea
