  If the URL is protected then we have to pass it to KIOFuse as most apps don't know how to get the credentials from kpasswdserver. This is a bug that has always existed with KIOExec, where before this patch it would always pass on the original URL to non-KIO apps if they understood them, but would have the same issue with credentials being required. From what I understand, `userInfo()` always seems to be emtpy even if it is password protected, so there's nothing clever I can do where if it isn't password protected I can just pass it straight to the app. It looks like we'll simply have to send the KIOFuse URL to all non-KIO apps. Trying to optimise I think is out of scope for this patch. I've blacklisted http/https seeming as they don't make much sense as a filesystem.
