Hi Configuring passwords directly in the Camel endpoint uris can be a bit more tricky if the password contains signs such as + & or other symbols.
As those symbols would be URI decimal encoded. So inspired by our camel-jasypt component http://camel.apache.org/jasypt Which allows to use an ENC(secret stuff here) syntax to encrypt some content in the uris, eg also for passwords etc. We now have a new RAW(value) syntax as well for endpoint URI options. So if you have the password se+re?t&23 Then you can tell Camel to use the value as is as shown below: .to("ftp:j...@myftpserver.com?password=RAW(se+re?t&23)&binary=true" You can see more details here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CAMEL/How+do+I+configure+endpoints I wanted to use the same syntax as we already use, eg for camel-jasypt, and hence went for RAW(value). And I didn't want to introduce a syntax that was to similar to property placeholders, using some kind of [[ ]] tokens. And hence settled for RAW(value). All the tests passes with this change. And there is also a new ftp unit test where we use a password that would fail in earlier Camel releases. And it should be possible to backport the change to Camel 2.10 branch, if the community thinks its a good idea. Which it could be as this is already a problem for people today to set their passwords in Camel 2.10, eg as reported here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6176 For now the commit is on trunk for the upcoming Camel 2.11 release. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
