_IECreate cannot handle basic auth with domain included in username

[nathanoyler@…]

When using _IECreate to open a website that requires basic auth, the URL looks something like this:

​http://username:password@www.website.com

However, if a domain name needs to be specified in the username, it looks like this:

​https://username@domain:password@www.website.com

I'm assuming _IECreate is splitting the string on the @ and getting wonky. If you try to use that function to open a website, it just craps out with this output in the console:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3" (272) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$oObject.navigate($sUrl)
$oObject^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 0.3972

Does the url you use in the script actually work when used in your IE browser?
Please come to the forum and open a new topic for this before posting it as a bugreport.
It is much easier to have a dialog and confirm it is a bug.

I would also to know if this MSDN article:
​https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/834489

was readed before this thicket was posted by OP.
And whether this is the case.

My apologies. I can submit in the forum, also. But to answer your question, yes, it works correctly from IE directly.

I take that back...it is an IE-specific issue. It works from Chrome, but IE cannot handle the URL, either. Given that, it's not exactly _IECreate at fault, and this ticket can be closed. Sorry for the false alarm!
