Subject: URL-escape the '@' sign in username/password
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 02:33:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CD9F655.8030908@enst-bretagne.fr> (raw)
Hello,
I've been trying to use git with a http/webdav repository with an
username containing a '@' character (foobar@host). The git FAQ [1]
suggests escaping the '@' character with percent encoding. However, the
username and password of the URI are not unescaped and the username
foobar%400host is sent to the web server.
$ #Launch a dummy web server
$ webfsd -4 -r ~/bidouilles/temp/empty/ -L- -F -bfoobar@host:secret
-p8000 -i 127.0.0.1 &
$ git clone http://foobar%40host:secret@127.0.0.1:8000/
Cloning into 8000...
fatal: Authentication failed
Compare with:
$ git clone http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Cloning into 8000...
Username: foobar@host
Password: secret
fatal: http://127.0.0.1:8000/info/refs not found: did you run git
update-server-info on the server?
