Support for username/password is not available today, you could add it to
the url using something like http://username:[email protected]/ (not sure
this work but might be worth trying).

I would point out that it won't be very secure as the contents of the
bundle could be extracted to reveal the password. Even if this feature was
added to Burn I don't know how it could be made secure.
