What did you do?

Perform an HTTP request that fails by returning an error message that does not contain the password.

Playground link: https://play.golang.org/p/1MA3niQ8-sG

What did you expect to see?

Password replaced with asterisks in the error message. As the Playground code shows, this does happen when the password doesn't contain any URL-encoded characters (probably from the fix for #24572).

What did you see instead?

Password with URL-encoded characters is visible in the error message.
