Invalid Syntax Error

R

Ramesh [MVP]

This is a result of the latest Microsoft Windows Update. BTW, this update resolves the major vulnerability. The following URL syntax is no
longer supported in Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer after you install this software update:
http(s)://username:password@server/resource.ext

A security update is available that modifies the default behavior of Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and HTTPS URLs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834489

This security update is a must.

I can no longer include a login/password combo in the URL for sites. It returns "Invalid Syntax Error". The format I have been using up to today was:

http://login:[email protected]

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have gone to the site to get the problem fixed, by the way, I also have problems when I use http & https. But on the download it says that I all ready have the update can someone please help? I have a Windows XP Home Edition and using IE

I have another question is this problem with IE only? If so will I be able to just download another browers like netscape to use instead

Doesn't it bring the authentication dialog? You may notify the webmaster.
