This will not work. WMS requests in OpenLayers are pure image requests, handled by the browser. But it looks like what you want is plain HTTP Basic authentication, which is supported by all browsers. So you could just change your layer_url to:
http://user:pass@rest_of_your_url/wms/ I'm sure I do not need to tell you that doing this is equivalent to sharing credentials with the whole world. Andreas.
