Re: @ character in http login

I am trying to use the basic http://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxx
form for authentication inside a script.

My only problem is my username contains the @ character (its an
email address). As result, the url seems to be parsing
incorrectly.

Has anyone found a way around this problem?

You may be able to use something like
http://username%40hotmail.com:password@xxxxxxxxxxx

where @ is converted to %40 . The same approach may apply if the
password contains odd characters like @, colon, space, %, etc.
