OK, here is an update: it basically works (verified with tcpdump here),
including usernames with "\" in them, if you do it correctly, but you need
to use the long form, described below. In the current version using a URL
won't always work in combination with user/pass authentication because
of two bugs. The correct way to do it is:

print read [
        scheme: 'http
        user: "my\user"
        pass: "mypassword"
        host: "www.somewhere.com"
        path: "dir/file.html"
]

Please note: NO leading "/" in the path argument. That "/" is implied.
If this still does not help then your server is probably doing something
weird...

I hope this helps.
