(substitute username:password with a valid account)
 
$ curl http://username:password@api.twitter.com/1/ajstarks/msm/members.json 

works,

but 

package main

import (
    "fmt";
    "http";
    "io/ioutil";
)


func printContent(s string) {
    r, final, err := http.Get(s);
    
    if r.StatusCode == 200 {
        var b []byte;
        if err == nil {
            b, err = ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body);
            fmt.Printf(string(b));
            r.Body.Close();
        }
    } else fmt.Printf("final: %v, err: %v (%v)\n", final, err, r.StatusCode);
}


func main() {
    
    printContent("http://username:password@api.twitter.com/1/ajstarks/msm/members.json";);
        printContent("http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23golang";);
}


returns: 

final: http://username:password@api.twitter.com/1/ajstarks/msm/members.json, err:
<nil> (401)

.....content from second URI....
