[Feature Request] Basic Authentication for Control Socket

[ivanov17]

Hello team,

I have an idea. I think it will be safer to secure the Control API with Basic Authentication when using a TCP socket. This would be useful when using a containerized application, since in this case it is impractical to accept API connections only from the localhost. This will also avoid the need to use an additional proxy just for Basic Authentication for API connections.

What do you think?
