Yes, the first form is supposed to work -- and I think the problem you're
seeing with it is the first ever reported. I'm not surprised, though,
because it's technically kind of "dangerous" (or "iffy") to use colons in
URLs, because they're technically not allowed. Lots of sites use "illegal"
characters like tilde (~) and colon (:) and some even use parentheses. Most
browsers pass the request along without any problem, but it could be the case
that your browser is more standards-compliant than most and subsequently
complains. Does it chop the ":8625" from the URL before sending? Looks like
your browser was Netscape 3.0 on AIX+X11.
