+5.5 auth= in URLs
+
+ Add the ability to specify the preferred authentication mechanism to use by
+ using ;auth=<mech> in the login part of the URL.

+
+ http://test:pass;auth=NTLM@example.com would be equivalent to specifing --user
+ test:pass;auth=NTLM or --user test:pass --ntlm from the command line. 
+
+ Additionally this should be implemented for proxy base URLs as well.
