Open htaccess password protectected page with no prompts

Question

I have a directory on a website that is password protected via htaccess. I want to be able to open this web page through my application without having the user enter the password but rather do it programatically.

For instance, is there a way I can embed the login information in the URL? Such as http://www.mypage.com/page.html?htaccesspassword=asdasdas

thanks!
