Won't accept <email address hidden>@demon012.com as an username and password

[Alan Jenkins]

Ubuntu Version: Fiesty Fawn
bzr Version: 0.15-0ubuntu2

My webhost has made it so that when I create a FTP account that is not <email address hidden> that I have to include the @demon012.com as part of the username. However bzr does not like this and crashes as a result output is shown below:

bzr init ftp://<email address hidden>@demon012.com

@ is not permitted *within* the userinfo, it delimits it from the host.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.1
  userinfo = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )

Correct URL would be ftp://alanproject%<email address hidden>/

Suggest close as INVALID or turn it into "throw useful error on invalid URLs".

Its true that a normalised URL cannot have user@host@host. However user
interfaces commonly take pseudo URL's and normalise them before handing
off to actual protocol implementations.

As long as we do the right thing on a normalised URL I have no problem
with a minor heuristic like this being supported, and I think its a
niceness for users in such circumstances not to have to know the details
of URI escaping.

Due to this little bug, we cannot use bazaar in our environment since our corporate ftp-server uses username@domain-style usernames. It would be nice if bazaar could handle this.

[Vincent Ladeuil (vila)]

@Q:

Until the bug is fixed, the work-around is to use:

  username%40domain-style

instead of:

  username@domain-style

You *can* use bazaar :)

So... he's using a really old version of bzr (0.15), I'll note that this bug was fixed in bzr 1.6 as part of bug #228058. In fact, I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of that bug.
