in reply to Replicating curl's authentication in Perl

So: does anyone know if LWP::UserAgent has issues with usernames containing '@' characters, and does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative method of connecting to the target server?

LWP::UserAgent has no such issue, your program might if you use interpolation ( "fun@stuff" would try to interpolate the array @stuff)

    That was one of my thoughts, however a data dump of the HTTP::Request object shows that the '@' has propagated through correctly: 
      'basic_authentication' => {
    'my.host:port' => {
      'SWORD' => [
        'me@here',
        'myPassword'
      
    }
  },

      What exactly does curl send? headers and 50bytes of the content should suffice (don't forget to clean the auth headers)
