Today, WebBaseLoader downloads any user provided websites. However for sites that the user has a password to, it cannot work. This request is for whether we can have the web browser download the content (JavaScript?) and pass it to the backend thus reusing already authenticated browser sessions to such websites. e.g. NY Times
