Internet Explorer’s Handling in HTTP and HTTPS URLs

834489 - Microsoft plans to release a software update that modifies the default behavior of Internet Explorer for handling user information in HTTP and HTTPS URLs. 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

This article is intended to give you advance notice of this change in Internet Explorer’s default behavior. If you include user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs, Microsoft recommends that you explore the workarounds that are described in this article before you install this software update. Microsoft will post more information in this article when the software update becomes available.
