Description
Add support for pre-authentication when downloading from a website. If an attempt is made to get a file from a server that requires pre-authentication (i.e. returns 403 forbidden and not 401 authentication required on request) then it is not possible to get that file since the authentication is not requested.
Therefore it would be good to be able to set the authentication details in advance when it is known the website is going to require this.
