I would like to see an enhancement to this. It should be possible to write a 
pointer to a file into the url. With this we have the possibility to use the 
same credentials for more then one repo/service.

Proposal:

https://hostname.domain.top/path/?credentials=/etc/credentials.d/mycredential

The credential file has the format:

username=...
password=...

(of soemthing similar if curl supports credentials from file)


The current inplementation can stay. So 
http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/path is an alternative.
