Response.Redirect "user:password@domain"

Linking to sites that require login.

In HTML a link with username and password in the URL looks like this

<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://user:password@protected.site.net&quot;>[/URL]

This allows me to connect to the protected site without entering a username and password.

But when I try to redirect in an ASP page like this

Response.Redirect "[URL unfurl="true"]http://user:password@protected.site.net"[/URL]

I am prompted for username and password.

What is the secret?

not sure but @ character might be a problem.
try Response.Redirect(Server.URLEncode(

http://user:password@protected.site.net))

A plausible suggestion but not the answer. Using URLEncode leads to a 404 error.

Thank you anyway.
