From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When initially configuring up2date, the program supports a proxy with authentication. If the password contains a pound symbol the password is truncated. Also, PAC support would be nice.... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Connect through proxy server (such as Squid) that requires authentication. 2.Use an account that has a # in the password (or username??) Actual Results: Should log in to proxy server with typed password. Expected Results: Attempts to log in with truncated password which then fails, ultimately locking the account. Additional info:
ugh, yeah. I can see that would break it. Bug in the config file parsing. I'll take a look and see if I can fix it.
Are there any news regarding this?
