Description Anne 2013-11-01 16:14:43 UTC 
This requires adding hooks in the URL specification for setting username and password. Because just setting them on the URL directly is wrong.

Aside from null we should also ignore the empty string. And ignore password if username is either null or the empty string.

This also affects Fetch.
