    cleartext usernames and passwords as the URI components of GET requests

    I’m not an infrastructure person. If the receiving web server doesn’t log the URI, and supposing the communication is encrypted with TLS, which removes the credentials from the URI, are there security concerns?

      Anyone who has access to any involved network infrastructure can trace the cleartext communication and extract the credentials.
