xscreensaver-text --url fails to interpret username/password from http_proxy variable

[SabreWolfy]

Binary package hint: xscreensaver

As reported here:

http://<email address hidden>/msg615995.html

xscreensaver reports error text about an "unrecognised port" for any URL entered for text screensavers if the http_proxy variable is in the format:

http://username:<email address hidden>:80/

As it is presumably interpreting "password" as the port, as it follows a colon.
