lynx-dev handling of URLs of the form http://user:address@hidden/ (no support yet?)

[Vlad Harchev]

 Hi,

 It seems lynx doesn't support urls of the form http://user:address@hidden/ - 
both
from commandline and in 'g' prompt - i.e. lynx asks for username and password
explicitly. Is this an intentional behaviour (what are the reasons then) or
it's just non yet implemented? Anyway, it's a pity that lynx doesn't support
them.

 FYI IE, Mozilla support URLs of this form.
 links doesn't support locations that require auth in any form at all (but it
seems it's trying, using invalid form of request, and the server spews a page
stating that brower sent a mailformed request).
 w3m behaves exactly like lynx - i.e. it asks username/pwd even if they were
specified in the url.

 Best regards,
  -Vlad
