New submission from Jerry Heiselman <je...@heiselman.com>:

The netrc library defaults to looking for the .netrc file in the user's home 
directory. On Windows, this file is conventionally named _netrc. While one 
could pass the correct path to the library, the conventionally correct path 
should be used on all supported platforms.
