#  If the URL requires authentication to access, then set
#  a login and password.
#  Note: Authentication has nothing to do with the fact that SSL is used.
#  Both SSL and non-SSL URLs may require authentication.
#  Login/password authentication is only required if the webmaster
#  explicitly protects the resource from public access.

#  Download a file from a web server over SSL (HTTPS)
#  You only need to provide the "https" in the URL to use SSL:
