ftp passwords

[Antonis Sidiropoulos]

Hi all,

I'm using wget 1.8.1 for windows
downloaded from http://space.tin.it/computer/hherold/.

There are 2 ways to pass login name and password to wget when connecting 
to an ftp site.
The first is with the argument -e 'passwd=123456'(which works always)
and the second is to put the username and passwd within the URL
of the form: ftp://someone:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

But when the password contains characters such as '^' or space,
these chars are converted in the form: %{hex code}
e.g. a passwd like "^12 34" is translated to: "%5E12%2034", so the login 
    fails.

Is this a bug ??
