Deprecating URL passwords in cache_object://

[Mark Nottingham]

I'm thinking about adding some functionality to cache manager that  
requires passing it arguments, but the current format is getting in  
the way;

    t = sscanf(url, "cache_object://%[^/]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@%s", host, request,  
password);

AFAICT the @password suffix on the URL is deprecated; cachemgr.cgi and  
squidclient both now use Basic auth.

What do folks think about removing support for @password in URLs?

Cheers,
