Authorization form in the Opera browser

Don't slaughter the cash cow that lays golden eggs, All...!
Opera 7.23 rus. from Sergei Zotov's package "To support the Russians
domains". It is now used as a regular browser without a proxy.
When you try to follow a link like "http://user:password@url"
a warning appears that you are transmitting information to the zone
Internet; press "Yes"; but then the form still comes out
enter your name and password.
What do you need to “twist” to log in automatically?
In IE on the same site, authorization from the address bar works fine.
Thank you.

By some standards it shouldn't be like this ;)

This is a bug. Which, by the way, is somewhere in mid-April next
The hotfix was removed (supposedly to improve security).
Best regards, Evgeniy.

Uh... It's more likely Proxomitron fixed, not Opera. :) It has one tick
Only the additional one is installed in the settings and the local proxy is registered.
;)

In vain. Proxomitron is a reliable thing.

Opera can use standard means to remember logins and passwords for standard
Apache authorization. If you check the box to remember the password, then everything will be OK.
When using w2k and storing Opera settings in the user directory, this
quite safe.
By the way, it can also remember authorizations through web forms. For stand
password you will need to press Ctrl+Enter. ;)More about Opera. I would recommend upgrading to 7.52. 7.50 & 7.51 behave
quite buggy when using the HTTPS protocol. Although 7.23 is also good
version. ;)

And yet it is widely used. For FTP this is very useful,
because by default browsers try to access FTP anonymously.

When using HTTP, this imho does not add security at all.
