If you try to fetch an HTTP URL that includes credentials, and if you
get redirected, even to the same server, then LFTP drops the
credentials, resulting in an access denied. Here's an example of debug
output, with the personal info changed:
lftp command typed was: get1
http://username:mypassw...@www.example.com/mypath
Debug output. Note that all the redirect is doing is add a trailing
slash; surely lftp should not drop the credentials just for that:

wget and curl seem to have configurable options for this.
