Greetings,

I have a question. In bb-hosts to setup Basic Authentication you use:

http://USERNAME:PASSWORD at www.sample.com/

I have a login to use that requires the username to be an email address. So I have:

http://first.last at somewhere.com:secretpass at www.sample.com/

How can I escape this?

"@" is ASCII 64=0x40 (hex). So:

http://first.last%40somewhere.com:secretpass at www.sample.com/
