title: cUrls's option "-u"
body: <p>From cUrl docs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-u, --user &lt;user:password;options&gt;
  
  Specify the user name, password and optional login options to use for server authentication. Overrides -n, --netrc and --netrc-optional.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What it gets translated to, meaning how do I catch it on the server to authenticate the user: are they in GET or in POST parameters?</p>
  
  <p>The language is not important, the idea is important.</p>
