Why guess? You can easily use Bablefish to see what the Italian error
message said.
As far as the URL's go:
Those ARE the standard URL format for including user/pass in URLs, been
using that format myself since at least 1995.
That format also works fine for many other data resource types besides
ftp. Telnet, http, https, gopher... (Yeah, I said gopher.)
RFC 1738 covers it, written in 1994.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
W3C didn't (and doesn't) define URL's. IETF did, many years before W3C.
