Journal Journal: IE7 URL parsing bug identified

Journal by catiger
I tried accessing a ftp server by entering the ftp URL in IE7 and got such a stupid error message: The requested URL could not be retrieved. however, the same URL works for FF and IE6. after using Ethereal to track the traffic, i realized that IE7 didn't do a proper job in delimiting the password with the other fields in the URL when the password contains the special character @. after i googled the web and could not find a simliar post about this so i decided to put it here. you may hit into

Google embraces the things that geeks love to have in a company. This is something that Microsoft just doesn't get and will not in the near future, IMHO. The only ground that MS has to compete on is that of the "average" soccer mom computer user that doesn't know about Google.

I don't know how many times I've given out my gmail address to geeks the gotten the response "Oh, cool. Gmail!" But, to the average person, it just means nothing.
