Firebird also re-directs but at least you can see the full address in the

vulnerability


Just to add

http://www.microsoft.com:security%00@....linux.org/

works equally well with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 under Red Hat Linux 9. So it is not just an IE
issue...

Opera at least displays a decent warning and also replaces the password
part of the credentials in visible display.
