To hard-code USERPASS you would have to set it to something like
  {'domain.com': 'user@domain.com:password'}
for the authentication to succeed. Perhaps URL-encoding the @ would
work, e.g.
  --userpass=http://user%40domain.com:password@domain.com
but I haven't tested this.

Note that it currently only supports basic authentication and not
cookie-based sessions.
