Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket authentication

I don’t have a convenient way to try this so I hope someone has the answer or can try it for me…

If I supply a url to Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket in the form “http://username:password@path”, will it properly interpret and use the credentials?

In the the classic HTTPSocket, I had to parse the URL myself (or, at least, I think I did) but the new seems more flexible.

Is it not the server that interprets that ?

My understanding is, no, it’s the browser.

On macOS, yes, that works.
On Windows, authentication doesn’t work. You need to manually specify the Authorization header, because the events don’t fire, and the parameters are not parsed from the url.
