User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

Log into a site that uses HTTP authentication, and where your username contains an @ symbol. (For example, user@host.com is the username.)

It will successfully login. However, it does not store it properly. On viewing of a second page under the HTTP authentication's realm, it will attempt to login with the username sans domain. (From the example above, just 'user')

I assume this has something to do with escaping the @ symbol, so that when generating the URL (http://user@host.com:password@site.com) it does not see the first @ improperly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In details.
Actual Results:  
Username is improperly sent to the server on the second request.

Expected Results:  
It will store the username properly and login successfully more than once.
Can you reproduce it with this url?

Hmm.

No, actually.

Must be a trait of the app I was using.

Sorry guys.
