How to fetch username and password from url using basic authentication in node.js?

I need to get the username and the password that a browser has send to my node.js application from the url.

I digged through various documentations and objects but I can't find anything useful. Does anybody know how to do that? Using Authentication header is not an option because modern bowsers don't set them.

https://username:password@myurl.com/
