Escaped username and password in URI

[marclennox]

I'm trying to use the URI connection format with username and password in the URI, however if the username or password contain special characters, my understanding is that you are supposed to CGI escape them (percent escape).

It seems though that this library does not decode the username and password, so authentication fails.

Would you accept a PR that de-escapes them?

Hi - this is as issue list for a wiki about MQTT. It is not a specific library.

I suggest you need to raise this against whatever library you are using.

My apologies I posted this to the wrong repo Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>
