Piwik HTTP auth plugin with mobile app

Support & Bugs
1

I use HTTP auth for all of my maintenance scripts and analytics. It’s a necessity for me as I spend a lot of time on VPNs as well as connecting via mobile, which means lots of rotating IP addresses.

So I have Piwik behind Nginx HTTP auth and discovered this plugin to use HTTP auth instead of the database auth. Is there a way to use the mobile app in conjunction with this? I can’t find any way to get it to attempt HTTP auth and using my HTTP auth credentials on the app just returns the unauthorized error.
