This is a problem because Node.js's URL parser doesn't like "special
characters" in the password:
i.e.
```js
const { URL } = require('url')
const u = new URL('http://admin:g[?6asdwrF@localhost:5984')
Uncaught TypeError [ERR_INVALID_URL]: Invalid URL
at __node_internal_captureLargerStackTrace (node:internal/errors:484:5)
at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:393:5)
at URL.onParseError (node:internal/url:565:9)
at new URL (node:internal/url:645:5) {
input: 'http://admin:g[?6asdwrF@localhost:5984',
code: 'ERR_INVALID_URL'
}
```
a work around, as @LyteFM points out is to provide the credentials
separately:
```js
const nano = Nano('http://127.0.0.1:5984)
await nano.auth('admin', '[!5gdg@&!')
```
I'd be curious to know what the "URL spec" (if there is such a thing) says
about putting passwords in URLs. I'm happy to fix this in Nano if there's a
standard way of approaching this.
