Cannot access POST data from AuthenticationBackend

See original GitHub issue

Common use case: Retrieve POST data sent by an HTML login <form> to validate within AuthenticationBackend middleware.

Passing usernames / passwords over GET with passwords visible in the URL is not acceptable.
Passing Authorization headers along with a form requires Javascript, a poor solution.

Any common techniques or help appreciated.

No problem, I was just under the impression that Starlette wanted to get to 0 issues before 1.0, and this is only a DX issue that may never be resolved.
