Http Auth in a Firefox bookmarklet

Http Auth in a Firefox bookmarklet I'm trying to create a bookmarklet for posting del_icio_us bookmarks to a separate account. I tested it from the command line like: wget -O - --no-check-certificate \ "https_seconduser:thepassword@api_del_icio_us/v1/posts/add?url=http_seet_dk&description=test" This works great. I then wanted to create a bookmarklet in my firefox. I googled and found bits and pieces and ended up with: javascript:void( open('https_seconduser:password@api_del_icio_us/v1/posts/add?url=' +encodeURIComponent(location.href) +'&description='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious','toolbar=no,width=500,height=250' ) ); But all that happens is that I get this from del_icio_us: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <result code="access denied" /> <!-- fe04_api_del_ac4_yahoo_net uncompressed/chunked Thu Aug 7 02:
