I didn't actually change any client-side part which afaik already strips 
credentials and sends it using the setHost() API. What the http kioslave 
already does is take this information and use the request url to temporarily 
store it (http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kioslave/http 
/http.cpp?view=diff&r1=832521&r2=832522). It just didn't try to use this 
data for authentication.
It seems this will make both credentials in URL as well as credentials set 
in config work again.

On a side-note it seems that EnableAutoLogin/autoLoginUser/autoLoginPass 
will be passed both using CMD_CONFIG (setConfig()) and CMD_HOST (setHost()). 
Should the kioslave just use the ones passed to it in the setHost call or 
possibly both (preferring any of them?).

Michael
