Hmm, right, it works with ssh, but not http.
I tried a quick fix like this:
diff --git a/http.c b/http.c
index 23b2a19..361a6be 100644
--- a/http.c
+++ b/http.c
@@ -281,9 +281,10 @@ static void http_auth_init(const char *url)
* "proto://<host>/..."?
*/
cp += 3;
- at = strchr(cp, '@');
colon = strchr(cp, ':');
slash = strchrnul(cp, '/');
+ for(at = slash-1; *at != '@' && *at != '/'; at--)
+ continue;
if (!at || slash <= at)
return; /* No credentials */
if (!colon || at <= colon) {
Unfortunately, it seems the complete URL is passed to curl, and curl
is the one doing it wrong. Indeed:
$ curl -v https://user@email.com@server.com/path/
* getaddrinfo(3) failed for email.com@server.com:443
* Couldn't resolve host 'email.com@server.com'
* Closing connection #0
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'email.com@server.com'
Now for the good news:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-02/0134.html
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2826621&group_id=976&atid=100976
In short, you have to use %40 to escape the @, and curl does it this
way because the RFC doesn't allow @ in usernames.
