Authenticacion not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a file called ".access" on the http/requests directory with 
user:password on it
2. Try to access with android-vlc-remote

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A user/password dialog should be shown so you can enter the credentials. 
Alternatively, I could have typed user:password@domain:port and the application 
won't ask for the user/password, but instead it will use the ones provided on 
the url.
These won't work as of current version. However, it works great on the browser.

What version of VLC Remote are you using? 0.5.3

What version of VLC are you using? 1.2.0 from git

What version of Android are you using? 1.3.4

Which Android device are you using? Geeksphone Zero

This patch makes it. It's not very clean, but it works. Feel free to use it as 
inspiration (or merge it if you think it's good enough --probably it's not).

How are you enabling HTTP auth?  I'm getting the following:

Warning: option --http-user no longer exists.
Warning: option --http-pwd no longer exists.

To enable HTTP auth, just follow the step 1 described on my post. You must 
create a .access file inside the http/requests directory containing just a 
user:password.
