Hmm, right, it works with ssh, but not http. I tried a quick fix like this: diff --git a/http.c b/http.c index 23b2a19..361a6be 100644 --- a/http.c +++ b/http.c @@ -281,9 +281,10 @@ static void http_auth_init(const char *url) * "proto://<host>/..."? */ cp += 3; - at = strchr(cp, '@'); colon = strchr(cp, ':'); slash = strchrnul(cp, '/'); + for(at = slash-1; *at != '@' && *at != '/'; at--) + continue; if (!at || slash <= at) return; /* No credentials */ if (!colon || at <= colon) { Unfortunately, it seems the complete URL is passed to curl, and curl is the one doing it wrong.
