Greetings,

I have a question. In bb-hosts to setup Basic Authentication you use:

http://USERNAME:user-9c6e10e27f21@xymon.invalid/

I have a login to use that requires the username to be an email address.
So I have:

http://user-38d97f4a0e0b@xymon.invalid:user-42bdefefecbd@xymon.invalid/

How can I escape this?

thanks,
steve
