Set the password.

Synopsis

Note
 The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme‐dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

Example

assert( url("http://user@example.com").set_password( "pass" ).encoded_userinfo() == "user:pass" );

Postconditions

this->has_password() == true && this->password() == s

Exception Safety

Strong guarantee. Calls to allocate may throw.
