How is this new feature supposed to be implemented?

Secure pages
Also you can now fire scripts in secure password protected areas like this:
$url="http://user:pass@www.TheDomainName/folder/file.php";
where:
user = your username to access the protected area.
pass = your password to access the protected area.

That's great. I would like to try it.

I have taken several guesses, none of which have worked.

Could you document this feature for us?
