I recently became aware of the upcoming patch for IE that
will remove the ability to pass user authentication data
in the URL. This happens to affect me negatively, but I'm
looking into workarounds now.

What the article does not specify, however, is whether or
not it removes the ability to put user data *anywhere* in
the URL. For example, if I have the following URL:

http://testsite.com?action=LOGIN&[email protected]

.... will this new patch throw a syntax error on
(e-mail address removed), even though it is placed after the (?)?

Anyone know?

Thanks!
 
I have the same concerns. In addition, we have been getting a number of IE
calls since pushing this update to over 1000 workstations (perhaps we jumped the
gun, but we figured MS would get it right considering it's been 3 months!). Was
wondering what other issues people have been experiencing with this update? It
appears that the scrollbar problems from the last IE update are fixed
(finally!). We're still trying to identify the problems from the new patch.
The IE update is the only thing that has changed, so it's got to be related to
that.
 
It also effects me negative and I am totally angry!
