            Bug ID: 143216
           Summary: Hyperlinks with Basic Auth
                    (https://user:password@example.com/) get lost in PDF
                    export
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: myspampirm at gmail.com

Description:
When exporting documents including hyperlinks with HTTP basic authentication
credentials from any application (tested with Draw, Writer and Calc) to PDF,
the hyperlink gets lost and somehow points to local resources/paths which
cannot be found.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a hyperlink in any document in the format of
http://username:password@example.com
2. Open the link to confirm it is working by CTRL+clicking the link (this works
from within LibreOffice)
3. Export the document to PDF via File - Export as... - Export as PDF
4. Open the exported PDF
5. Try to open the hyperlink with basic auth credentials from within the PDF
viewer (tested: Okular, SumatraPDF under Wine)

Actual Results:
Either the PDF viewer says it can't find the specified local resource or opens
some random path in the file manager (in my case thunar)

Expected Results:
The link should be opened in the default web browser and try to log in to the
website requiring HTTP basic authentication using the provided credentials.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
