I know for URLs, you can put an @ in them because we take the *last* @
as the separator before host. So:
http://user@host:pas@word@host:portWill parse correctly as
user@host
pas@word
host
port
However, I don't know if we have that working for the proxy code.
Also, for URLs you can usually get away with URL escaping the @ as %40.
That may or may not work for you, but something worth trying.
