Description Daniel 2016-02-03 00:51:09 UTC

Version 4.14.10 (not an available option in the bug report wizard).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File: New: Address Book: DAV resource
2. Enter any username, and enter the exact password: "test:pass"
3. Choose configure resource manually
4. Click Add server configuration
5. Type in a responding URL and click Fetch (doesn’t need to be a working server)

Actual Results:  
See screenshot. Password is not urlencoded causing it to break in interesting ways. Ignoring the cosmetically problem, you do get a list of resources from the server. However, the added address book will not be able to sync with KAddressBook and will just be left broken.

Expected Results:  
Password should not be displayed in this dialog. Password should be properly urlencoded.

Causes problems other places too, as even if you ignore this dialog and get a list of resources: KAddressBook will not be able to actually sync against this address book later. (Could be different bug causing the actual sync issue, but I have strong suspicions about this one right here.)

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed since as I can't reproduce it with 15.12. I remember addressing the @ in the user name, which may also be the cause here.
