Description:
------------
Why can't I do this:

header("Location: http://user:pass@myserver.com");

NS7 will redirect happily, but displays the user:pass in clear in the address bar and changes all the in-page links to match the address bar url.

IE will not play the game at all.

Reproduce code:
---------------
header("Location: http://user:pass@myserver.com");



Expected result:
----------------
Browser redirects to http://myserver.com and authentication is passed across to the basic auth relam.

Actual result:
--------------
As described above

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Blame microsoft! - they have disabled this by default in the latest update to IE.
