Minor Description
Add functionality to allow HTTP authentication credentials to be specified in the settings file.
When HTTP authentication is used to protect a repository, the mechanism for specifying the necessary credentials is through the use of the settings/configure ant task or command line. It is desirable in many instances to be able to decouple these credentials from the build file as they are often different for each user and a settings file seems an ideal place for such customizations, especially when dealing with resolvers.
