@ character in http login

I am trying to use the basic http://user:password@example.com


form for authentication inside a script.



My only problem is my username contains the @ character (its an 


email address).  As result, the url seems to be parsing 


incorrectly.



Has anyone found a way around this problem?



Cheers


Simon
