Anyone else having problems with logging in via URL?

I have some bookmarks on my iPhone and my PC that include the username and password for the webUI, it seems to me that since 2.4X this no longer works correctly and prompts for credentials again after the link is opened but SOMETIMES works..

Anyone else seeing this? It is very handy when you create an iPhone home screen bookmark to do this since it is one tap and you are in. accept now not so much.

I wonder how and where these "credentials" are stored and whether an expiry date would be involved. Is this a browser issue?

They don't expire, as part of basic http authentication you can pass credentials via the URL like this http://usname:password@myservername/transmission/web/ this happens to be SUPER handy when used with saving the transmission UI as a web app on the iPhone and in a bookmark if you are lazy and don't worry about your transmission password sitting there in your favorites.

I have been logging into the web UI like this for some time, but with the 2.4x releases it seems to fail and then prompt for password again.. I believe this is a transmission issue but maybe I am one of only a few that do this and expect it
