passport.js RESTful auth in POST json or ? url extensions

I'm trying to do a RESTful interface which is sessionless for a mobile app.

The reason for this question I'm not clear such an app (multiple IDE/platforms) supports the same functionality available in "curl --user", but I know how to produce POST at least for proof of concept.

The passport-http 'basic' example contains the following code:

app.get('/',
   // Authenticate using HTTP Basic credentials, with session support disabled.
   passport.authenticate('basic', { session: false }),
   function(req, res){
    res.json({ username: req.user.username, email: req.user.email });
   });

explains how to test with this curl example:

curl --user bob:secret http://127.0.0.1:3000/

How can the passport-http 'basic' example code be changed to accept the username/password in a POST, to allow this sort of curl request?

curl -X POST -d username=bob -d password=secret http://127.0.0.1:3000/
