[OpenLayers-Users] WMSGetFeatureInfo / proxy.cgi / UID and Password - How?

[geep999]

Hi,
I'm having trouble querying features from a WMS server that requires a UID
and password.
I'm using UK Ordnance Survey's OpenSpace, which is built on OpenLayers 2.8.

OpenLayers.Layer.WMS works OK and I can see the data OK using a URL of the
form 
http://UID:password@www.xxx.com

But using the same URL with OpenLayers.Control.WMSGetFeatureInfo I get
problems with the query.
I'm a bit unsure what to put into proxy.cgi.
I have tried both (1) UID:password at www.xxx.com and (2) www.xxx.com but both
produce errors attached below.
(For security I've changed some real values in the data below - e.g. myisp
for actual IP etc.).

Anybody any ideas how to solve this problem?

Cheers,
Peter

URL: http://UID:password@www.xxx.com/OGC/OGCInterface

Errors from (1) proxy.cgi has UID:password at www.xxx.com
Some unexpected error occurred. Error text was: nonnumeric port:
'password at www.xxx.com' 

Errors from (2) proxy.cgi has www.xxx.com
This proxy does not allow you to access that location
(UID:password at www.xxx.com).
