Does dods support the http://login:passwd@url syntax? I couldnt find it in the 2.0 spec. If not, is there any standard way to deal with password protected servers?

Yes it does, although authentication is not part of the spec (not all servers implement it, although mine do). I decided to break it our and eventually write a separate spec for authentication.
