Since the IE browser no longer allows the @ sign in a uri, you can no longer download files from some vendors' sites. Still works in Netscape 7.1, however. So far I've found three sites, but I haven't done an extensive investigation. These are just ones that I've stumbled across. The most interesting one is NAI's download site for enterprise licensed software packages. (I suppose, if one was ambitious, one could google for @?) I wonder how many other vendors are "cheating" on the RFCs to facilitate browser interaction?
