setup_proxy may not work with special characters in passwords #47

I've encountered a problem where a colleague wasn't able to access a repo and we think we narrowed it down to their password containing a "?".

I wonder if setting reserved = TRUE in the URLencode call within setup_proxy might fix this. I don't know if that may cause other problems though, as my proxy and encoding knowledge is limited.
