HTTP_PROXY with special chars

English Network/Internet

How could /etc/sysconfig/proxy handle special chars in password ?

For example - HTTP_PROXY=“http://user0001:@part1!part2@proxy.company.com:80”

Here “@part1!part2” is the password.

Any help greatly received.

Considering that looks a lot like a URL have you tried URL encoding the
value? I’m sure you’re vamiliar with the %20 you can get in URLs for
spaces. ‘20’ is the hex value for a space. So… looking at my
handy-dandy ascii table… ‘21’ is hex for ‘!’. Perhaps try putting %21
in there instead to see if that helps.

Good luck.
