How to solve the > problem? Go with the source gizmox. In url.c there is the following function that does all the parsing of the URL you enter. It determines if you have a user and password set by looking for the literal @ character (in a function named skip_uname). parseurl (const char *url, struct urlinfo *u, int strict) { /* Allow a username and password to be specified (i.e. just skip them for now). */ if (recognizable) l += skip_uname (url + l); for (i = l; url[i] && url[i] != ':' && url[i] != '/'; i++); So you cant have the @ anywhere else or it brakes it. A little futher on it does the actual parsing out of the user and password. /* Parse the username and password (if existing). */ parse_uname (url, &u->user, &u->passwd); /* Decode the strings, as per RFC 1738. */ decode_string (u->host); decode_string (u->path); if (u->user) decode_string (u->user); if (u->passwd) decode_string (u->passwd); Now the good news is that after it has extracted out the user and password it calles decode_string on them. This means that you can escape your special characters and it will decode them for you, You should therefore be able to use %40 instead of your @ character.
