Cannnot connect to postgresql using special characters in password

[eb-microlab-digital]

Cannot save / test / connect by using complex password containing special characters like ^, #, [, ] and/or $.

The error message is invalid port ":password^" after host.

These are the url's tested format:

• postgres://username:password@host:port/dbname
• pg://username:password@host:port/dbname?sslmode=disable

Passwords that contains special characters must be URL encoded.

Worked like a charm.

Thank you for quick response!

PS: It will be great if the Readme.md will be enriched with additional note about this situation.
