authentication groovy httpbuilder

When using groovy's http-builder with basic authentication the default behavior is to send an unauthenticated request first and resend the request with credentials after receiving a 401 in the first place. Apache's Httpclient offers preemptive authentication to send the credentials directly on the first request. How can I use preemptive auth in Groovy's http-builder? Any code examples are appreciated.

You can also solve it groovy style with

http = new RESTClient('http://awesomeUrl/')
http.headers['Authorization'] = 'Basic '+"myUsername:myPassword".getBytes('iso-8859-1').encodeBase64()
