Passwords are not present in XCLIENT and aren't expected to.  
Authentication is done by nginx and it's nginx responsibility to 
check passwords, and it does so using auth_http service.  Note 
well that in many authentication methods passwords aren't sent at 
all, appropriate hashes are used instead.
