what is your idea, not to enter the userid/pwd but still have to enter it? where is the security?

maybe, there should be a way to add some coockies, or ip-queries in the webpage.

Without the ability to process user/pwd in a url,
you can pretty much forget non-anonymous ftp logins
with your browser, for example.

Hi

i think the user/pwd in the url isn't a good idea. (other ppl on the pc - ie-history...) i would rewrite (or add an "add-in") the website,
with a "loggin" on it. and with a db, you'll have an nice controll...

Hi there!

Microsoft has released a IE patch Number 834489. This patch makes URLs

like


http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED] unusable. Since we have a few
applications (intranets, closed user groups, a.s.o) running which use this
kind of verification, our customers are running into problems after

applying


this patch.

mhs has released informations at http://www.mhs.ch/mhsservices/patch.shtml
(sorry, german only) and is currently informing customers affected by

this.


Please don't start any "political" (Anti-MS) discussions now. I fully

agree,


that this MS patch is pure bullshit. I'm very interested in your points of
view and possible _technical_ solutions in that.

Best wishes,
Matthias

BTW: Microsoft's informations:
