We give the username and password to curl by sticking them in a buffer of the form "user:pass" and handing the result to CURLOPT_USERPWD. Since curl 7.19.1, there is a split mechanism, where you can specify each element individually. This has the advantage that a username can contain a ":" character. It also is less code for us, since we can hand our strings over to curl directly. And since curl 7.17.0 and higher promise to copy the strings for us, we we don't even have to worry about memory ownership issues. Unfortunately, we have to keep the ugly code for old curl around, but as it is now nicely #if'd out, we can easily get rid of it when we decide that 7.19.1 is "old enough".
