The problem is not the encoding of messages between the worker and the method but in the method's configuration handler AcqMethod::Configuration
This method takes the message string, unquote all the items (hence the URI), and set the associated configuration item. The De/QuoteString method is not bijective if the string already contains one of the unquoted character. e.g http://user2:p%40ssw...@localhost:3128 is unquoted to http://user2:p...@ssword@localhost:3128 the resulting string is an invalid URI and cannot be parsed and the quoting cannot be reversed because http://user2:p...@ssword@localhost:3128 will give http://user2:p%40ssword%40localhost:3128 I made a quick fix to the parser for the '@' but if the password contains an '/' it becomes quite tricky and it's more of a hack than a fix. Furthermore the problem is not the uri parser here. We cannot escape the URI in HttpMethod::Configuration for the reason above. At first sight, a solution could be to add an exclusion list of items that should not be dequoted in the configuration handler and processed specifically in each method. I'll try to post a prototype. -- Encode any ":", "@" or "/" within the user and password field in proxy settings. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
