The URL RFC defines a URL as =
protocol://user:pas...@su...p-leveldomain/path

However the HTTP sub-spec of this RFC removes the username:password from =
the spec for HTTP.

What this means in practice is that you are allowed to define a URL with =
user/pass but the http client must convert it into http request Headers =
per the HTTP AUTH rfc.=20
Sorry..

It won't work, unless the client can xlate them, the user:pass is a =
special case that can be used by clients instead of a login dialog.
