This is called Basic Authorization

B4X:

    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("j",Me)
    j.Download("http://beta.abrdome.com/emimangio/downloads/result.inf")
    j.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization","Basic " & su.EncodeBase64("prova:prova".GetBytes("utf8")))  ' <--- username:password
    Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Log(j.GetString)
    Else
        Log(j.ErrorMessage)
    End If
    j.Release

It is not matter POST or GET, it 'll work, because username/password added in header not body.
This is for POST:

B4X:

Dim su As StringUtils
Dim j As HttpJob
j.Initialize("j",Me)
j.PostString("http://beta.abrdome.com/emimangio/downloads/result.inf","")    ' <--- Post
j.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization","Basic " & su.EncodeBase64("prova:prova".GetBytes("utf8")))  ' <--- username:password
Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
If j.Success Then
Log(j.GetString)
Else
Log(j.ErrorMessage)
End If
    j.Release
