IE.au3-Error when opening URLs with @-prefix

[DonaldD]

Hi

 

I observe unexpected behaviour when using IE.au3 with url-@-prefixes.

Note that this should not be a discussion about passing username:password in the url 

 

Code-excerpt:

#include <IE.au3>
...
$oIE = _IECreate() 
...
$oIE.navigate("http://username:password@server.domain.com/service", 0, "_blank", 0, "Referer: http://www.google.com")
...

Error-Message:

Script error: Line 37 (File "C:\test.au3"): $oIE.navigate("http://username:password@server.domain.com/service", 0, "_blank", 0, "Referer: http://www.google.com") $oIE.navigate("http://username:password@server.domain.com/service", 0, "_blank", 0, "Referer: http://www.google.com")^ ERROR Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

Is there something wrong with the syntax or is it a bug?

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Donald
