allow user:pass in URL

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to allow user and password in an Http URL like this:

http://myuser:mypass@www.mysite.com/page/page.html

unfortunately, when I set such URL the server show that the page isn't
available. Removing myuser:mypass@ works fine.

IIRC Most web browsers stopped supporting this sometime ago, it's a security
risk.
