Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/371

I have setup ntfy.sh behind Nginx Proxy Manager with basic auth for security since It is public facing.
It works fine for notifications but doesn't download local attachments, I think it's because it only uses the basic auth/user for the topics and not the entire base url.

If you turn on debug logging in ntfy you can see the detailed error. log-level: DEBUG in the server.yml or --debug on the command line.

The logs don't say anything since the app can't download the attachments.
In the app I get a 401 error if I am using basic auth behind a proxy for the attachments, the notifcations arrive just fine
