             Summary: Proton-C does not URLdecode password before doing SASL-PLAIN
                 Key: PROTON-553
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-553
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-c
    Affects Versions: 0.7
            Reporter: James Birdsall


This is a serious issue using Proton-C against ServiceBus because our passwords are base64-encoded keys and frequently contain '/'. Previous versions of Proton-C didn't care about technically illegal forward slashes in the URL, but 0.7 sure does. URL encoding the password gets around that, but then the encoded password is presented to our broker and is rejected. Since Proton is the one dealing with a URL and enforcing URL rules, it should do the decoding before passing the pieces on to other layers.
