Hi Oleg,
see RFC 2396, URI: Generic Syntax, section 3.2.2:
<userinfo>@<host>:<port>
Some URL schemes use the format "user:password" in the userinfo field. This practice is NOT RECOMMENDED, because the passing of authentication information in clear text (such as URI) has proven to be a security risk in almost every case where it has been used.
cheers, Roland
Roland,
of course it is out of question that this poses security problems. But this fact does not make the URI classes less buggy.
