If the username and password can't be encoded in a url (like in mozilla) then it's not going to be possible to use it that way. That's how the url handlers yum uses include usernames and passwords
Michael? Ryan? Thoughts on this?


Can the password be url encoded (use %40 for the @ symbol)? May be worth a shot.
