Public bug reported:

If using a client connection and you turn on use headers and supply a
header it fails to work

Scenario

Mahara is trying to call a webservice connection via a client_connection
via REST protocol to an external site but the external site is behind
basic authentication so you choose the 'use headers' option and put in a
basic auth header, eg "Authorization: Basic dGVtcDpBZTlhZWtveg" but it
fails to work.

The problem is the code for adding this to the $auth array mixes up
parts of the wstoken and the header so breaking the call
