Well, in general public servers, by being "public," wouldn't want to set a
password, which is specifically what my patch addresses.  I don't know of
many that way.

My friend who runs the Icecast server I used said he would be interested
in lending an account for a limited time test period; no this is not a
public server.  Keep in mind it only allows one connection using the same
account at a time.  As you would have others treat yours, treat his server
and content nice.  :)

URL: http://musicubestream.ktuli.com:8000/musicube
user: yortwer
pass: ?a0>Belo

Password was so chosen, so that:

a) total number of characters (username, ':', password) % 3 = 1, thus
   the basic auth base64 encoding would end in two '=' chars

b) '?' and '>' chars were placed at end of base64 encode input
   octet tripplets so that I could demonstrate the '+' and '/'
   characters in the encoding

Let me know when you are done testing.

Thanks for the quick response!
