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.

Used following with Jenkins.
def accessToken = "ACCESS_TOKEN".bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
def req = new URL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxxx/something/hosts").openConnection();
req.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + accessToken)
def content = req.getInputStream().getText()
