Pass an e-mail into a HTTP login

I'm trying to make a login using only HTTP request. Like:

http://user:password@mywebsite.com

And everything works fine.

But there is this one username that is an e-mail. So, how should I pass them in HTTP? I'm trying

http://myemail@mydomain.com:password@mywebsite.com

And I know this is wrong, but it's the only idea I had. How should I do this? I'm using python's splinter library to run some tests in my stuff.

In splinter, it should look like:

from splinter import *
browser = Browser('firefox')
browser.visit('http://myemail@mydomain.com:password@mywebsite.com')

And still nothing.

Solution

  • IT WORKS!

    Well, it is working now, thanks to synotna's tip. I'm using:

    http://myemail%40mydomain.com:mypassword@website.com

    And if you need to pass a port,

    http://myemail%40mydomain.com:mypassword@website.com:port
