Er.... that would be "Microsoft FIXED IE to conform to Internet Standards (or RFC). There is NO standard that says browsers MUST support "@" as part of a URL fot http/https requests. If you know where such standard is stipulated, please reference it. >It may very well be true that the world would be > better off without the username:password URL syntax, but for Microsoft > to just unilaterally decide to axe that syntax is, IMHO, wrong.=20 MS did not unilaterally decide to axe this. This "feature" was added into IE just to make life easier for Windows users. Now that it's been proven to cause more havocs than its convenience, MS is actually coming back into compliance by removing it. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
