Hi Andre,

now that the URL specs are in the repository, I have a question about it:
why are there separate methods for "username" and "password"? rfc2396 mostly
talks about a "userinfo" token, with the user:password possibility made
scheme-specific. In fact, the rfc2396 text warns against having passwords in there,
because of the security risk. So, I would prefer set_userinfo/get_userinfo methods
instead of the get_[username|password]/set_[username|password].
