I had a web page in which the user specify an username and a password to make queries to a third site. In Firefox and Chrome I can make an URL of the form http://user:password@example.com, but Internet Explorer 7 says that it can not find the address.
Is there any form of setting user and password in the URL for Internet Explorer 7?
No. This was disabled for security reasons: It was misused by phishers to obfuscate the real site address.
