Er, accept the RFC where it's defined says "no username or password is
allowed for HTTP" RFC 1738
RFC 2396 notes it, doesn't mention HTTP, but does say it's "NOT RECOMMENDED"
and 3986 specifically deprecates it. IE is certainly doing nothing wrong
here.
And who uses IE - the majority of people...
Jim.
