-1 as the string in the example `"http4://alice\\1234:secret@localhost:80"` is not an RFC compliant URI, neither in [RFC 2396](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2396) or [RFC 3986](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986). The problem is two-fold though, the above, plus the fact that there is a long-standing issue within VFS where we incorrectly handle percent-encoded values. If in the above you meant to escape the a single `\` character then then URL should be `"http4://alice%5C1234:secret@localhost:80"`; but, that seems to cause problems within VFS, so that's what needs to be fixed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
