Basic authentication fails with "@" in password (Safari)

Description
My script posts status messages to Twitter, using $.ajax() username and password parameters for HTTP basic auth. I found it worked on Firefox (3.5), but failed on Safari (3.2.3). This is probably because the call is being converted to http://username@password:http://twitter.com/etc, and the presence of an "@" becomes ambiguous.
xhr = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json",
data: "status="+$("#status").val(),
success: function(tweetJSON) {
...
},
error: function(xhr, errorStatus) {
...
},
username: $("#username"+accountIndex).val(),
password: $("#password"+accountIndex).val()
});

jQuery just passes the username and password to the xhr object; if there is a problem beyond that it would be in Safari. Could you reopen the ticket with some more information about what is passed to the site when the problem occurs?
