[GitHub] couchdb-fauxton issue #854: don't encode username/pass unless necessary

    One thing I was very confused about with this code is that, to replicate to or from local DBs, you don't need to specify the full URL; you can just specify the DB name. E.g.:
    
    ```bash
    curl -X POST http://localhost:6984/_replicator \
      -H 'content-type:application/json' \
      -d '{"_id": "test_replication1", "source": "http://examples.cloudant.com/animaldb", "target": "animaldb", "create_target": true}'
    ```
    
    This works fine; is there any reason to use the full URL for local DBs? It also breaks when you run Fauxton at a different root than the database itself.
