问题
Is it possible to send basic auth credentials in a link? I have tried http://username:password@anapi.com but it's not working (in chrome on a mac, it keeps telling me to provide APIKey, which is password in this case). I need to be able to have a user click on a link and provide these credentials, if possible.
The link is to sometimes huge files (< 1 gig). So instead of me, downloading the file in question I would like to just construct a link that points to it, and have the user download it.
It's in Java because I'm making a Java Portlet, but I can construct the link just like an html element:
<a href="https://username:password@google.com">Click here!</a>
Any advice would help, Thanks!

I remember a specific Microsoft support article in which they explicitly dropped browser support for including passwords in URLs like this; it's probable that other browsers did too.
EDIT: here's the article.
