The netcdf-c code uses curl for its underlying
http read/write support. Curl has support for
specifying passwords for accessing controlled
sites.
If the site just requires simple username
plus password support, then you should be able
to insert that into the url in this form:
http://username:password@hostname...
Let me know if you have problems.
