digitalmars.D.learn - curl password issue

reply "Andre" <andre s-e-a-p.de> writes:
Hi,

Curl has some issues with passwords containing special characters

The password will not be accepted although it is correctly


I know this is more a Curl issue than a DLang issue but it
is very frustrating and for unexperienced users very hard to
find out why the application is working for some users
and for some others not...

Could the documentation for setAuthentication could be enhanced?

Kind regards
André

Sure. You can make a pull request. The documentation in question is here: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/net/curl.d#L1809 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/net/curl.d#L2411 Alternatively, you can suggest a text here, and I or some else will submit one.

Until now I didn't found out how to solve the issue excepting 
changing
the password;)
In case I find the solution I will make a pull request.

Kind regards

The suggestion to make a pull request wasn't to provide a work-around for the undesired behavior, but rather to add a comment noting what the the behavior was (as a warning for users). If this is a limitation of curl, there likely isn't anything D can do about it.

I think Marc Schütz meant a pull request improving or fixing the documentation. Ali

I don't found any reference for this issue in curl and the D wrapper hardly adds anything. You're sure it isn't an issue with your program or how you pass the password?

This might be the case here. I was recently dealing with this and I had to percent encode the hash key (%23 for reference). Also, I ran into issues regarding the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables, but again those are unrelated to curl.d.
