piighost/basic-auth-url

A URL carrying HTTP basic credentials, user:password before the host. The password is in the path a proxy logs and a browser history keeps, which is what makes the whole span worth taking rather than the password alone. Collides with URL on the same start; a group carrying both must declare this one first.
