This may be slightly OT but having the auth in the url has some benefits when using a handler for certain file types. The Android Browser violates this if you go to a site requires auth and then links to video/audio. When the media player is passed the url, the credentials are lost and the media fails to play.

That's not only the case for media files but for everything you try to download via the included download manager. And that sucks pretty much.
