Yup; unless you make your request over SSL/TLS (HTTPS) (but even then,
it would be "bad looking")

You can eventually use HTTP-level authentication (using HTTP Basic --
which sends credentials in the clear, so should be used over SSL/TLS
only-- or HTTP Digest on your server's side), and use an URL such as:
http://user:[email protected]/my.module.nocache.js

Over SSL/TLS, no; otherwise, yes.
