Description

If a URL contains a username and a password the parser takes the first separating colon and everything behind username is used as a port number and "bad_cast" exception is thrown. There is a workaround. One can set "Authorization" header instead of including credentials in a URL.

This is for a URL like http://username:password@example.com/

We need to make sure parseUrl() parses this, and, we properly formulate the request for it, I guess (not sure) using this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication

i.e. by adding an 'Authorization' header
