apt-get and http authentication

I can't get apt-get to do http authentication. It seems sources.list doesn't support http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ type URI:s. The manuals do mention authentication to http-proxies, but not authentication to the site. Am I doing something wrong or is this something apt-get can't do (I hope not).
