Summary: Parsing userID:passwd in http_proxy

Initial Comment:
When using yum (an automatic updater) on Fedora Core 1,
I am trying to take advantage of an http_proxy
variable. The problem is that our proxy userIDs contain
an "@" character, and when the variable has the
following format:
http_proxy=http://userID@my_domain:passwd@my_proxy:8080/
I am getting the following error:
[Errno 7] HTTP Error (InvalidURL): nonnumeric port:
'passwd at my_proxy:8080'

Would it be possible to change the way 'userID:passwd'
string is parsed? Maybe by allowing a delimiter around
that string?
Thank you very much for your co-opeartion.

Best regards

Marcin
