Parsing Basic Auth from config file fails when password has a pound sign # in it.

[ms-accounts-x-arvesta]

I have something like this in my configuration file:

login = user:pass:realm
login = user2@some.domain:password_with_#_in_it:realm 2

Siege -C output:

CURRENT  SIEGE  CONFIGURATION
Mozilla/5.0 (pc-x86_64-linux-gnu) Siege/4.0.9
Edit the resource file to change the settings.
----------------------------------------------
version:                        4.0.9
      [removed for clarity]
www auth:                       credentials:  user:pass:realm
credentials:  user2@some.domain:password_with_:any

Whatever I try (quoting the whole string, quoting only the password, escaping, urlencoding, trying to put the pass in a var and using that as suggested for the url file in this issue: https://github.com/JoeDog/siege/issues/189), I cannot make siege understand that the line shouldn't be cut off after the pound sign. Is this just a feature of the parser, or have I overlooked something?

This looks right: @.***:passwordwith#_in_it:realm 2 However, I think you encountered a bug. It's treating the password like a comment. I'll try to provide a fix soon.
