Description Diederik van der Boor 2011-05-30 16:56:29 UTC 
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

When a smb://user:some#pass@host/ URL is used, dolphin does not parse the URL properly.

Instead, It thinks it's an http:// URL. The problem seems to be caused by the '#' char in the password.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc
Comment 1 David Faure 2012-07-20 11:12:01 UTC 
Correct.  # is the beginning of a fragment, in a URL.

Just like '@' needs to be encoded as %40 ( http://konqueror.org/faq/#HowcanIconnecttoanFTPsitethatrequiresaloginandpassword ), '#' needs to be encoded as %23. I'll add it there.

This is unintuitive, of course, but using reserved characters cannot work ;) and the more typical way to do this is to type the password in the password dialog anyway.

Also mention '#' as a special char that needs manual encoding
