I am trying out different ebook readers to see what is best to use with both Calibre and Ubooquity. My Calibre is setup for remote access and requires username/password. I've tried to access remotely without good results (it fails).

I am using both an Android tablet & iPad. Both have issues.

I setup the Calibre access with the following url:

"http://usernameCOLONpassword@calibre.domain.org:8088/"

If I test the above in a Chrome browser, a dialog still pops up wanting the username/password. In an ebook reader app, I just get a failure to connect. Is there something I can put in after the http://calibre.domain.org:8088/ string to pass the username/password as a parameter?
