Comment (by threadi):

 I also stumbled across this today because I want to access an Auth Basic
 protected URL. My solution:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'http_request_args', array( $this, 'set_download_url_header' )
 );
 $file = download_url( $this->get_url() );
 remove_filter( 'http_request_args', array( $this,
 'set_download_url_header' ) );
 }}}


 In {{{set_download_url_header()}}} I add the Auth Basic header, which then
 works without any problems:


 {{{
 public function set_download_url_header( array $parsed_args ): array {
  return array_merge( $parsed_args, array( 'header' => array(
 'Authorization' => 'Basic ...' ) ) );
 }
 }}}
