If I do

 (url-generic-parse-url "http://user:pass <at> 127.0.0.1:8442/")

it returns a struct with the username and password fields properly
parsed.  However, if I do

(url-retrieve-synchronously "http://user:pass <at> 127.0.0.1:8442/")

it seems to ignore the embedded username/password, and I have to work
around that by doing something like

(let ((my-auth '(("some realm" . "base64-encoded-field")))
      (url-basic-auth-storage 'my-auth))
  (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://127.0.0.1:8442/"))

I could not readily find a function to use the embedded
username/password in the URL without assigning to
url-basic-auth-storage.  (If there is one, I think it should be better
documented.)


Thanks,

Faried.

I can confirm that this bug is present in Emacs 25.2.

I've now fixed this for Emacs 25.1.

Should we mark this bug as "-done", or are you waiting for confirmation from
the OP?

I think I marked it as done?

I'm using the debbugs interface, so the control messages are separate
messages, and also say what version the bug was fixed in.
