Subject: 23.1; password protected url via find-file fails at first

Hi,

when I try to open a password protected url via find-file it fails the
first time. It seems to be in a loop which I have to C-g. On the
second and subsequent call it works.

When I tried:

emacs -Q -f url-handler-mode
C-x C-f http://site.needing.password.com/ RET

Emacs said

  error in process filter: url-basic-auth: Command attempted to use
  minibuffer while in minibuffer

So I made url-basic-auth enable recursive minibuffers (which seems to be
how eg Tramp handles this kind of thing).
