Authorization form in the Opera browser

ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»

From Wladimir Bulchukey To All 16 July 2004

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.

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. ;) WB> Currently used as a regular browser without a proxy. 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. ;) ZXNet: 500:8462/1 ~/ <~ http://zxnet.da.ru/ Fido: 2:5057/56 /_ _> SkyNet: 71:170/21

For FTP this is very useful, because by default browsers try to access FTP anonymously. WB>> In IE on the same site, authorization from the address bar takes place WB>> ok. EP> This is a bug.
