Description Kevin Sawicki

The Mylyn GitHub connector posts the token and user values as POST data on each request.

This method is deprecated: http://develop.github.com/p/general.html

Basic authentication should be used instead.

This also currently causes searching and listing issues to fail for private repositories
since authentication is not included in this request.
