I considered that possibility, but (using Axel's hint on how he tested)
found nothing in the data shown in "Follow TCP Stream" for this case.

Perhaps you could explain how you've tested this case, and how to repeat

(the suggested patch by the way is unsuitable because it breaks the
known-to-be-insecure use of user credentials in a non-HTTPS URL)
