Indeed. https://user@host/ as well, btw.

I would be happy if there'd be a separate patch for this so we can
potentially backport this to already released versions of Lynx.

I was able to reproduce this issue in Lynx in all currently (in some
way) supported releases of Debian back to Debian 8 Jessie with ELTS
support which has Lynx 2.8.9dev1.

		Kind regards, Axel
