Oliver,
this seems to be a very clever feature of Firefox.
I am just exercising with ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] URLs
to access ftp, and it seems to behave the same.
It even removes the user:pwd from the URL bar
after it has logged in.
So, I wouldn't bet on all browsers to behave like
that.
Its a stone old feature - the only point
of firefox is to wait for the server to 401
before sending any basic auth credentials -
no matter if input via password window or
put into URL.
