ability to modify xhr properties

[avalanche123]

For cross-domain requests to services that require any type of basic authentication or cookie exchange, it is necessary to set xhr. withCredentials = true

CORS spec - http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

Since this is supported now, shouldn't the parameters username and password to the added to the open method call now now?

See: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-open-method

withCredentials was added in #1209

@reezer Will close this one for now, please re-open (or open a new one) if you need the user/pass in the open() method: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-open()-method
So far there were no request for it so let's wait and see if people are asking for it.
