Hi,
I actually posted on a non-Apple mailing list as well, and got an
answer. It is a little ugly:
afp://;AUTH=NO USER AUTHENT@hostname/share-or-volume-name
It is a bummer that "afp://guest@hostname/share-or-volume-name" doesn't
work. The latter URL is much nicer looking and clear to users. Time
for a Radar submission, I guess.

Hi,
With an "afp:" URL, you can specify a username, which is good. The
thing that is a bummer is that I can't seem to figure out what name to
use that corresponds to the "guest" AFP user (separate radio button in
the authentication dialog). Using "guest@host/share" doesn't do it.
My goal is to not require any user to need to even see the dialog. An
interesting side note is that, if a user logs in as Guest, and then
makes an alias or dock icon to that folder somewhere, unmounts the
share, and then opens the alias/dock icon, no authentication dialog
comes up. How to do the same thing with an AFP URL?
This isn't really a programming question per-se, but the Apple folks
who know about such things do check out this mailing list. Nothing
turned up in the TIL or on Google that I could find.
TIA,
Smith
