You can also encode your username and password within a URL:                  
        You can also encode your username and password within a URL:          
             
  ftp://user:password@host/path                                               
         
  http://user:password@host/path                         
                                
Either user or password, or both, may be left out.  If you leave out either
the HTTP username or password, no authentication will be sent.  If you leave
out the FTP username, 'anonymous' will be used.  If you leave out the FTP
password, your email address will be suppled as a default

You can encode unsafe characters in a URL as `%xy', xy being the hexadecimal  
     
representation of the character's ASCII value. Some common unsafe characters  
        representation of the character's ASCII value. Some common unsafe 
characters       
include `%' (quoted as `%25'), `:' (quoted as `%3A'), and `@' (quoted as 
`%40').
