ISSUE-90 - Public View

passwd seems underdefined in RFC2617

State:

CLOSED

XMLHttpRequest

Description:

For the open() method I was trying to come up with error handling for the user 
and password arguments. It seems that user comes down to quoted-string which is 
defined in http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616 but passwd comes down to:

  passwd   = < user's password >

according to http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617 ...

Should probably raise this with the HTTP WG.
