I wonder how to post or get from a HTTP Basic Authentication site with Indy 10

I'd like to know how to get or post from a site with HTTP Basic Authentication with Indy 10 on Delphi 7.
I want to get / post to Twitter, but it asks for a Username and Password
For example http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.xml asks Username / password to get the proper XML
Thanks by advance.

I think you have to use TIdHTTP.
 var
  h:TIdHTTP;
  s:string;
 begin
  h:=TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
  try
   h.Request.Username:='user';
   h.Request.Password:='12345';
   h.Request.BasicAuthentication:=True;
   s:=h.Get('YOUR_HTTP_PATH');
  finally
   Sys.FreeAndNil(h);
  end;
 end;
