Curl: provide user and password for apache.htaccess file

I use cURL to test some RESTful APIs. Some of these APIs are served from the Apache machine and are protected by a combination of users and passwords using simple .httaccess files.

Is there a way to provide cURL a combination of username and password as arguments?
