ios - Retrieve URL that has password -

i retrieving data via nsurlrequest , working perfectly. have added password protection directory , not sure how configure code add in password directory (mystuff)

can tell me how done based on current code?

thank you

 -(void) retrieve  {     nsurlrequest *therequest=[nsurlrequest requestwithurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://xxxxxxx.com/mystuff/test.php"]cachepolicy:nsurlrequestuseprotocolcachepolicy timeoutinterval:8.0];     nsurlconnection *theconnection=[[nsurlconnection alloc] initwithrequest:therequest delegate:self];    if (theconnection) {   receiveddata = [[nsmutabledata data] retain];   } else {   // inform user connection failed.   [self showserveralert];   return;  } }     //call other delegate methods 

the standard url syntax be:

http://username:password@xxxxx.com/mystuff/test.php 

when doing though should not use http. want use https. , don't hardcode password in code. hacker figure out.
