Ah OK, your reference to https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/heat/common/urlfetch.py was a red herring. Heat never downloads the image; Glance does. Heat just passes the URL to Glance:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat/tree/heat/engine/resources/openstack/glance/image.py#n107 I'll reassign this bug to Glance. ** Project changed: heat => glance -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

In https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/heat/common/urlfetch.py url resources can not be collected from sources where authentication is required. Adding auth=(user,password) to the requests( from http://docs.python- requests.org/en/latest/user/authentication/) would allow resources to be collected from secured resources.
