    MSIE security update removes support for http://user:pass@... style URLs

    Did a quick scan of topics and I don't think this has been posted yet...

    This is going to make life difficult for some people.

          Maybe for people running stolen/hacked password sites.

              who pass cracker or pass sites?
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                          Some sites use it so that members don't get a password prompt each time that WMP plays a vid:

                          http://user:[email protected]/members/somemovie.mpg

                          If you leave WMP open then you don't get re-prompted each time you play a new vid, but you will have to enter your u/p at least twice to enter the site and view a video.

                              Well good. Only stupid MoFos put passwords on the URL.
                              Why use a fucking password at all if you include it on the URL?
                              When you click a link on that page you send me your fucking password in the referring URL.

                              Learn how to program and you don't need stupid shit like this.

                              Read this thread!

                                          Beat it. Nothing to see here.
