I'm taking this over here from the users list. (also filed as bug #1311)
I think we should do something about the ; as separator even if it means
breaking how users may have started to use 7.31-7.33, due to how it breaks
compatibility with older libcurls and semicolons in passwords.
I suggest we either remove the ability to add options to that string, or make
the separator something that is less likely to be used in a password. Like for
example having it the spelled out ";options=" or something.
