Describe the issue

whep not working when username:password specified inline with URL

Playing of this url in the browser https://username:password@example.io:8889/endpoint1 results in the following error

(index):112 error: TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request cannot be constructed from a URL that includes credentials: whep

Before whep, this webrtc scenario where url contains username:password worked fine in google chrome

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. start the server
2. publish with rtsp
3. read with webrtc over whep using username:password

Did you attach the server logs?

yes (index):112 error: TypeError: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request cannot be constructed from a URL that includes credentials: whep

Did you attach a network dump?

no

Same problem with v0.23.5.

Additional information: 1) If you reload page (via F5) - the username and password will remain in url and you will get the error in the browser console 2) If you reload page (via editing the URL) - the username and password disapear from the URL, but Authorization header appears and everything is fine
