Link which ignores htaccess promt

[Anon]

I have a dir which is protected with HTACCESS.

e.g: /friends/mr_x

Now I want mr X to get to his dir, without filling out the htaccess promt. I know there is a way, that you can integrate it into a <a href> tag in HTML, but I don't remember the Syntax. The only thing I know that it was something like following

user:passwd@somewhere/some/dir/

I would be glad if someone could help...

That's exactly how you do it.

http://user:[e-mail]/dir/here
