According to the specs (http://www.w3.org/Addressing/rfc1738.txt) the scheme
http://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/ is not valid.
The specs also mentioned that:
"The user name (and password), if present, are followed by a
commercial at-sign "@". Within the user and password field, any ":",
"@", or "/" must be encoded.
"
So there is a synaptic issue not encoding username and password and an apt
issue accepting an invalid scheme but this behavior is documented in the
apt.conf man page.
Setting to triaged.
** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- synaptic proxy password must not contain "@" sign
+ Encode any ":", "@" or "/" within the user and password field in proxy
settings.
