Stage file proxy - website under shield I want to retrieve some images from my website to my local Drupal website but my website is under .htaccess password protect so I need to enter a username and password to login. I know the password and username but when I try to get the images through stage file proxy it doesn't work and it's probably because the website is under shield. What should I add in my settings.php file in order for stage file proxy to go through the shield?
See module's INSTALL.txt file:


  If the site is using HTTP Basic Authentication (the browser popup for
  username and password) you can embed those in the url. Be sure to URL
  encode any special characters:
  
  For example, setting a user name of "myusername" and password as,
  "letme&amp;in" the configuration would be the following:
  
  $conf['stage_file_proxy_origin'] =
  'http://myusername:letme%26in@example.com';


Another way, if you have a static IP, is to bypass the Apache auth for certain IP addresses.
