FileGenerator will strip the username:password part and, in effect to the
following:
1. URL url = new URL(urlstring);

Hi Joseph,
it took some time until I found the time to find out who does what:
"username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port" is indeed mentioned in the actual standard
[1]. And Cocoon's source resolving (based on/ using Apache Excalibur
source resolving) does indeed execute the code you wrote above [2]. The
rest is done by JDK's java.net.URL and URLStreamHandler.
So it should indeed work the way I wrote.
If it does not work for you when directly used in the browser it might
be that another URL handling is used on the server you are requesting
the page from. But FileGenerator uses the way described.
