Is the following URL valid?  http://www.address.com () www sitenameremoved ru


Technically, yes. (It specifies that the client is to authenticate to www.sitenameremoved.ru 
  with the username "www.address.com".) It's often used in phishing  
attempts, though, as a sufficiently long username can be used to  
obscure the actual hostname and path.
