Jukka,

I'm not sure what others ways are possible, but I found that to get
MapServer able to talk to a password protected WMS (or perhaps WFS?) I
had to hack the code to pass some extra options to curl.  Ideally we would
provide a mechanism to do this directly from the mapserver if there is no
better way.

Best regards,
