Hello Macel, from what I see in the code, these data are not taken into account by HTTP. After having a look at the HTTP and URI specifications, it appears that HTTP relies on the definition of the "host" term ([1] and [2]) as specified in the URI spec ([3]) which does not take into account the userinfo part (4)... That can look quite odd. Anyway, passing user name and password in the "userinfo" subcomponent is clearly not recommended in the URI spec. Could you tell us more about your needs?
