If your proxy requires authentication, you can specify the username and password inside the proxy-part of the URL, e.g.
http://fred:Wilma1 at webproxy.sample.com:3128/http://www.foo.com/ will authenticate to the proxy using a username of "fred" and a password of "Wilma1", before requesting the proxy to fetch the www.foo.com homepage
But my password contains the "@" symbol
Yuck - and you're in trouble too if it contains a ":". Right ... How about escaping it the way you normally do with URL's ? I.e instead of "@" you'd have "%40" (because the ascii value for "@" is hex 40), does that seem reasonable ? If so, then it's a simple one-line change. And it will only break the setup for those who already use authentication and have a "%" in their username or password ... --- lib/url.c 2005/01/20 22:02:23 1.9 +++ lib/url.c 2005/01/28 19:28:31 @@ -353,7 +353,7 @@ p = strchr(netloc, '@'); if (p) { *p = '\0'; - url->auth = strdup(netloc); + url->auth = strdup(urlunescape(netloc)); netloc = (p+1); } p = strchr(netloc, '='); Henrik
