That seems like it should be a pretty straight forward thing to add, sure!
But in the context of "dangerous things", how do see the user + password in
the URL used to harm the application or the server?

CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS is the option to enable/disable specific protocols. There's
no generic "disable all non-authenticated protocols" option.
Of course, an interesting idea is to let CURLOPT_USE_SSL affect *all*
protocols so that you can require TLS/SSL to be used with that option even for
HTTP(S). But that's not how that option works right now...
