Geek question
I'm trying to make a local mirror of some sites that I use, for which I have a username and password. It used be that these could be added to the URL as follows:
username:password@address.com
I have read that IE stopped supporting this usage with IE6; I managed to cobble together an XP m/c to try it out on IE6, but microsludge has IE8 as part of the O/S so I couldn't install IE6. Also read that some versions of Chrome, Opera and Firefox will support the usage, but have not been able to find which ones.
Can anyone help?

Re: Geek question
Vid,
That worked perfectly. I am very much obliged to you for digging up an arcane piece of information that I hadn't been able to for months, and I doubt that I ever would have.
Thanks, and best regards from another former Eclipse Trader,
