If your proxy requires authentication, you can specify the username and
password inside the proxy-part of the URL, e.g.
http://fred:user-a44e509d68fd@xymon.invalid:3128/http://www.foo.com/
will authenticate to the proxy using a username of "fred" and a password of
"Wilma1", before requesting the proxy to fetch the www.foo.com homepage
But my password contains the "@" symbol
Yuck - and you're in trouble too if it contains a ":". Right ...
How about escaping it the way you normally do with URL's ? I.e instead
of "@" you'd have "%40" (because the ascii value for "@" is hex 40),
does that seem reasonable ?
If so, then it's a simple one-line change. And it will only break the
setup for those who already use authentication and have a "%" in their
username or password ...
