Passing passwords to HTTP checks

[David Whitehouse]

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:\@pple@www.test.com <http://root/@pple@www.test.com> 

http://root:'@pple'@www.test .com

 

Both of these fail.
