http authentication and XML datasource

Hi, 
 
Is it possible to use http authentication for an XML datasource ? 
 
The http server I access to get the XML need the user to be authentified with a user and password with standard http authentication. I tried to use <a class='bbc_url' href='http://mylogin:mypassword@localhost/GetXML'>http://mylogin:mypassword@localhost/GetXML</a> however the url is seen as invalid and nothing is retrieved in Birt. 
 
The exception given when the dataset is build is : 
<<org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException: XML data source cannot be retrieved.XML data source file is invalid or the file doesn't exist.

Have you got a solution to call those kind of URL ? Is it mandatory to create a specific ODA datasource for it ? In this case, where can I find the source of XML Datasource ?
