Remote URL with authentication

[jbschrades]

Is it possible to save a remote file from a URL that requires http authentication using the remote_column_url method?

I could also use this option if possible.

I haven't tried it, but using http://username:password@host.com/path might work for HTTP basic auth.

@bensie It won't work. This returns ArgumentError: userinfo not supported. [RFC3986].

@jbschrades Carrierwave downloader uses Open-Uri's #open method.

As it is implemented now, unfortunately, you cannot pass any params to it.

IMHO, this issue enforces the need of this feature request.

I think we can close this issue if favour of the above one. What do you think?

This feature will be wonderful and I can use it.

@eavgerinos sounds good to me
