Connection info on URI about smog

Are you comfortable with knowing that if somebody looks through your history they can get your DB credentials? There is a possibility for a Remember Me (Insecure) option if enough people don't care about that

What about using basicAuth?

Maybe with a path like this:
http://localhost:8080/#/:dbType/:dbHostName/:dbHostPort/:dbName/:collectionName/:documentId

For example:
http://localhost:8080/#/mongodb/localhost/27017/cellar/vines/522fc525cda9ad4e3a000001

With these headers:
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

Or inline if someone prefers it:
https://user:pass@localhost:8080/#/mongodb/localhost/27017/cellar/vines/522fc525cda9ad4e3a000001

MongoHQ (http://mongohq.com) uses a "mongohq_session_store" cookie for an auth token, thru HTTPS.
