This is more like "allowing embedded authentication credentials in URL for http transport".

We never supported URLs with embedded credentials (see Documentation/urls.txt), partly because nobody asked for it, but more importantly because giving -n to curl to have it read from user's .netrc is generally much more preferred approach.
