I'm trying to add an external calendar using the Calendar File Backend
plugin.  The webdav resource requires authentication to perform a GET. 
How do I accomplish this?  I don't see an option to specify username and
password.
    
        

I'm not sure this will work, having never used the calendar file backend 
plugin, but if it's http basic auth, you can supply the credentials in 
the url http://user:password@url

Unfortunately I already tried this and it does not work.  I'm guessing
this needs to be patched to allow authentication.

    

This url scheme with webdav/apache certainly _can_ work with basic auth.
You are leaving out important details.
What type of authentication?

  

My setup is a little tricky.  I'm using a CalDAV server but it also supports WebDAV GET/PUT requests.  The authentication is basic authentication.  When I put the user & pass in the URL, apache logs show the username but it still gives a 401 error.
