Answer 1

Short answer is that you can't.

Redirecting to http://user:pass@example.com/ will work on some browsers but not all.

You could use a substitute authentication module, and push a value into it - e.g. using mod_authmemcookie on Apache if you're happy to tweak the server config like this (and have a cookie you can use).
