[Feature Request]: VFS URI support for Hop Two Way Password Encoder

[jballment]

What would you like to happen?

Currently when using VFS URI with a password in the URI it must be decrypted prior to being used in the URI i.e. sftp://myuser:mypass@myserver/myfolder/myfile.txt works but sftp://myuser:Encrypted 2be98afc86aa7f2e4cb79a369ce93bcc9@myserver/myfolder/myfile.txt fails.

HopVFS already has cleanseFilename(String vfsFilename) to remove the password based on a regular expression. Could we use the similar regular expression to extract the password from the URI and then use Enc.decryptPasswordOptionallyEncrypted(String password) to decrypt the URI prior to it being passed down to Apache Commons VFS classes?

Also, an option would be after using Enc.decryptPasswordOptionallyEncrypted(String password) to decrypt the password in the URI, use org.apache.commons.vfs2.util.EncryptUtil.encrypt(String password) to VFS encrypt the value before passing to the VFS libraries ensuring that plain text password isn't accidently exposed.
