If you are using the option try-without-password = yes (the default)
then this should not be a problem.  For every URL that has a password
and is cached by WWWOFFLE there should be a copy of the same URL that
was requested without a password.  This means that when you request
the non-passworded version of the page it will ask for the password
and then show the passworded version (if you gave the correct one).
