Connection fails when using special characters in password

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a password with characters like | or % or & or any special url character.
2. Test the url: the url will be considered as invalid
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
--> The expected output is to get the url validated. Insted it is invalid.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
--> 1.0.10 on Linux 64bits with Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 (Build id: 
20110218-0911)

Please provide any additional information below.
--> If you replace the special characters by there html-url code, this will 
work perfectly. Thus a password looking like "abcd|efgh" should be entered as 
"abcd%7Cefgh"

--> I would say that it lacks of an EncodeUrl call or something like that. But 
I am not an expert.
