Re: LYNX-DEV Lynx 2.7 problem

[Al Gilman]

I found the following entry in the BUGFIXES file.

* Reset the host string after an '@', if present, when trimming default
  ":port" fields in the new code aimed at compliance with the Masinter
  and Fielding URL drafts, expected to replace RFCs 1738 and 1808.  The
  distributed code neglected to do that, and was ending up on a ":password"
  field, if present, instead of on the ":port" field, causing the username
  to be treated as the host name.  - FM

If you can get your ISP to get the current bugfixes for 2.7 and 
recompile, your problem should go away.
