Requesting Backend with Username/Password

[ridoo]

When configuring Pubby with an Sparql endpoint which needs authentication (e.g. http://user:[email protected]/sparql) Pubby answers with

,-----------------------------

HTTP Status 500 - JenaException: Only well-formed absolute URIrefs can
be included in RDF/XML output:
http://<username:@:8080/parliament/sparql> Error:
37/HAS_PASSWORD in slot 6

`-----------------------------

With Pubby's current logic, RDF output should actually have URIs that have the username and password in them for all resources... ;-) So it's almost a good thing that the Jena library refuses to serialize these URIs.

It would be great if Pubby could handle URL authentication to access also Sparql endpoints within an authentication realm.
