Problem authenticating if password contains a @

I'm not sure if this one would ever be fixed... Mainly because the syntax for including the username and password in the URL isn't actually part of the standard. It's an extension that (IIRC) Netscape started way back when.

 

 

Possibly it would be better to cover yourself, and if there is a reserved character in the pasword (Does / and : do the same thing?) use the basic auth callback instead.

 

(Ahh... Actually, I'm thinking perl when I say basic auth callback. Presumably the java API has something similar)
