Subject: url-basic-auth -- default user/password prompt to values from URL

Hi all,
I've been hacking a bit on some code that uses url.el to talk to a
website which uses HTTP Basic authentication. I'm specifying the
username/password combination in the URL itself, and yet
`url-basic-auth' prompts me for my username and password.
Fixing that looks potentially complicated, so I thought an incremental
improvement would be for the prompts to pre-populate with the URL's
username/password combo. A patch is attached that does just that. It
would be great if this made it in before 22.2.
Here's a ChangeLog entry:
2007-08-04 Edward O'Connor <hober0@gmail.com>
* url/url-auth.el (url-basic-auth): When prompting for username
and password, default to the username and password in the URL.
