Has anyone ever been able to pass a password to the http check that
includes an '"@" character?

 
We have tried escaping the @ with a "\", we have also tried single
quoting the password.

 
Eg password for example is @pple and username is root

 
We have tried:

 
http://root:\@user-e4e32e73331f@xymon.invalid <http://root/@user-e4e32e73331f@xymon.invalid>; 
http://root:'@pple'@www.test .com

 
Both of these fail.

Try http://root:%user-c6fbeebce9f2@xymon.invalid/ , or put the username+password
into a ".netrc" file in the Hobbit-users' home-directory. See the
bb-hosts man-page for details.
