[Damn the courts: full integration ahead!] you cant blame microsoft for this because they have the freedom to integrate this functionality as they like as what rfc 2396 says. in fact microsoft and netscape already supported this long time ago. for example, i like this feature and used it several times if you dont have a ftp client at hand... just put to your browser: ftp://username@ftpsite but the complete syntax is protocol://username:password@hostname usually you dont include password in uri because someone can view it thru history list.. you just neglect the password and wait for password dialog box to come up, but of course this is still in plain text password. fooler. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
