Feedback wanted regarding prettyURL()

[Dirk Mueller]

Hi, 

To avoid the latest announced url spoofing attacks in a general way, I 
suggested to shorten the username, to avoid that the user misinterprets the 
username actually as part of the hostname. 

this however breaks the url pretty badly: the username is not really valid 
anymore. on the other hand, its unlikely that there will be a very long 
username given, especially if no password has been added. 

Comments, opinions?

Thanks,
Dirk
