Neomail / Horde / Squirrelmail - Webmail script

[rodolfo]

Hi,

I found a script that let us login to Neomail, Horde or Squirrelmail in any domain we want to. The question is that the URL format works in browsers like Opera but it doesn't with Internet Explorer.
Format example for Neomail login: (https://USERNAME+DOMAIN.COM:PASSWORD...ail/neomail.pl)

Do you know what is wrong with it, for not allowing login with IE ?

Here is the script i'm talking about:

<SCRIPT language=javascript>
<!-- Begin
function Login(form) {
var username = form.username.value;
var password = form.password.value;
var server = form.server.value;
var type = form.type.value;
if (username && password && server) {
var httpurl = "https://" + username+ "+" + server + ":" + password + "@" + server + ":2096/" + type;
window.location = httpurl;
}
else {
alert("Please enter the correct password.\n the username is before the @ in your email address");
}
}
</SCRIPT>

</p>

<DIV align=center><INPUT name=button type=button onclick=Login(this.form) value=Login window="new">

</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></FORM>

Thank you all!

If I am not mistaken IE removed that ability to show the passwords in the raw form on a URL line with a security update.

You are not mistaken They decided to break the RFC all on their ownsome.

Lol, thanks for confirming that. I thought I was right but would hate to give wrong advice :-)
