The URL parameter should be in the form "http://www.somesite.com/path/file.html" - just like an address you would type into your web browser.
To use a username and password when connecting simply prefix the servername with "username:password@", e.g.
"http://myuser:mypassword@www.somesite.com"
Not all servers will correctly give the file size, especially when using a proxy server.
