The username and password are currently sent as a part of the url. This can be a challenge
if the url need to be percent encoded. The username and password also need to be percent
encoded then. It is easier to send username and password in the Authorization header. Note that
this will change the behaviour of ClientRequent.url.

This is for #178 . It is a breaking change.

We must retain this code. The username and password will continue to be accessible using the userName and password properties. They only won't be included in the url property.
