Semicolon not allowed in userinfo

[Bachir Bendrissou]

Hi,

The url attached example contains a semicolon in the userinfo segment.

Wget rejects this url with the following error message:

*Bad port number.*

It seems that Wget sees "c" as a port number. When "c" is replaced by a
digit, Wget accepts the url and attempts to resolve "xyz".

It's worth noting that both curl and aria2 accept the url example.

Why is the semicolon not allowed in userinfo, despite the fact that other
special characters are allowed?

Thank you,
Bachir
