yum supports basic auth by username and password options. python urlgrabber is missing commit c2a06002be467b8395e420fea9a629d6dc14ddbc for basic auth support. So while yum gives auth info to urlgrabber urlgrabber doesn't currently know what to do with it.

Simple backport of an upstream fix ... it "works" now but you have to use https://username:password@host/path ... and it shows the auth. info. on errors (or whenever yum shows the url), which can be pretty annoying.
