--- Comment #3 from Christophe JAILLET <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for testing.

I think that the relevant part is in RFC 7230 ([1]) cited in the
HttpProtocolOptions documentation:

> Userinfo (i.e., username and password) are now disallowed in HTTP and
> HTTPS URIs, because of security issues related to their transmission
> on the wire.  (Section 2.7.1)

Anyway, IMHO, it should be stated explicitly in the doc, at least where
username:password@ is useable.



> Is basic authentication supplied in the URL now blocked by default for other
> protocols as well?

I guess so. [2] is part of the standard URI handling.
I'll give it a try with our test framework to confirm.
