I am using Apache 2.0 webserver that comes with Fedora. I enabled HTTP

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html. It works well with
username without colon. If I have a colon in the username, it doesn't
work. I think the reason is because colons are used as delimiter in the
user file. I tried to percent encode but it still doesn't work.

Is there a way I can have ':' (colon) in my username? Please help. Thank
you very much.

I may be way off here, but how about:

"user:name:password" => "user%3Aname:password"

(ie replace : with %3A ? )

Not sure if you'd use the quotes or not - this was from a google search I found.
