Keith Mason pointed out to me that I can pass get() a URI instead of
a string, and that works.
get(URI("http","google.com",80,"","","","user:pass/word"))
# Only necessary for a URL that requires authentication;
# google.com only used as an example.
# Note that the password "pass/word" contains a slash.
# When sending a password, use HTTPS, not HTTP.
