Is it possible to use a username/password combination when sending a JSON command to XBMC?

I currently do something like this, which works as long as there is no password/username entered in my XBMC settings:
http://192.168.1.55/jsonrpc?request={%22...%22id%22:1}

I have tried:
http://user:[email protected]/jsonrpc...etc. with n luck (obviously I've tested this with the actual user/password in XBMC)

I'm very new to JSON, and I'm making an app. The core functionality I need is working (thanks to this forum!), but only if the user has no user/password set up.

Any help would be appreciated.

It all depends on what language / tool you use for sending the http query.

The auth is a simple http basic one, so all you need to do is add an header in your http query with the auth credentials correctly encoded in base64

Thanks, Tolriq. It's a little over my head, but now that I know it can be done I should be able to implement it with a bit of work.
