Thanks for your report.
According to the specs (http://www.w3.org/Addressing/rfc1738.txt) some symbols
need to be escaped in username and password fields:
'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.'
As a side note the specs also mentioned that the scheme
http://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/ is not valid, but most apps
(apt, wget, ...) accepts it and this behavior is documented in the
apt.conf man page for example.
Setting status to triaged.
** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Summary changed:
- proxy password escape symbol issue
+ Encode any ":", "@" or "/" within the user and password field in proxy
settings.
