Review request for kdelibs and David Faure.


Changes
-------

Fixed incorrect i18nc usage.


Summary
-------

The attached KIO HTTP patch adds the same kind of preventative measure as Mozilla to stop a user from being fooled into visiting a site through the "bogus username" trick. For example, http://www.microsoft.com%26item%3Dq209354rexsddiuyjkiuylkuryt2583453453fsesfsdfsfasfdfdsf@www.kde.org/.
