That would create the following possibilities: * host example.com:31337, protocol https * host example.com:31337, protocol unspecified * host example.com, protocol https * host example.com, protocol unspecified How would you like each one to be handled? My preference would be to make the user say "host example.com:31337" in the netrc file (the current situation); that's what we do in Emacs and it lets applications request credentials for a logical service no matter what the port is. It means that example.com credentials won't be used for example.com:31337. In practice, that has not been a problem for us.
