I believe the issue was that there is no such thing as "user:pwd@" for
http: or any other URI's with the exception of FTP: 

Just because it is described in an RFC for FTP doesn't mean that you can
go ahead and add this capability to everything else that trails a colon.

If you feel otherwise, please show us an RFC that describes "user:pwd@"
for http:.
