            Bug ID: 358934
           Summary: Passwords containing colons are not urlencoded
                    properly when adding DAV resources
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: code at daniel.priv.no

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.)
