http://user:passwd@domain is invalid URL syntax for the HTTP scheme. IE
used to support it but eventually Microsoft must've reread RFC 1738 and
realized that the example of the *generic* URL syntax showing the login
credentials was NOT to be applied under the HTTP scheme. Microsoft
fixed its error for the HTTP scheme as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=834489. Microsoft pretends they were
mitigating a possible malicious use of login credentials in the HTTP
scheme when in fact they simply came into compliance on February 2004
with the RFC 1738 dated way back to December 1994 (i.e., 10 years later
Microsoft finally becomes more compliant).

The inclusion of username and password was never legal HTTP syntax
according to RFC 1738. The generic URL syntax shown as an example is
just that: generic. Subsequent sections describing each URL scheme will
override that generic URL with the additional or different requirements
within that scheme. The HTTP scheme does *not* permit user
information in its URL. The FTP scheme does allow user information.
