Description
.netrc is an already defined file standard that is already recognized by curl for storing usernames and passwords.
curl doesn't insist that this file not be world readable, so checks will still need to be made to ensure that it is a secure file.
Users would then simply add lines like:

machine twitter.com login kemitix password my-twitter-password

machine myproxy login myproxyuser password my-proxy-password
