Fixed broken link to rpcuser.py - is actually rpcauth.py

The correct file and path is rpcauth not rpcuser https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/share/rpcauth/rpcauth.py

 This command shows that +curl+ submits an HTTP request to the local host (127.0.0.1), connecting to the default bitcoin port (8332), and submitting a  +jsonrpc+ request for the +getblockchaininfo+ method using +text/plain+ encoding.

-You might notice that curl will ask for credentials to be sent along with the request. Bitcoin Core will create a random password on each start and place it in the data directory under the name +.cookie+. The +bitcoin-cli+ helper can read this password file given the data directory. Similarly, you can copy the password and pass it to curl (or any higher level Bitcoin Core RPC wrappers). Alternatively, you can create a static password with the helper script provided in _./share/rpcuser/rpcuser.py_ in Bitcoin Core's source directory.

 If you're implementing a JSON-RPC call in your own program, you can use a generic HTTP library to construct the call, similar to what is shown in the preceding +curl+ example.
