InvalidURIError with hash character in PG database password.
Bit of a weird problem here. Basically I'm trying to setup a taps server so I can pull the contents of a PG database over HTTP.
The password for the database is constructed like this (notice the # character): 123456#abc.
Whenever I try to start the server with
taps server postgres://localdbuser:localdbpass@localhost/dbname httpuser httppassword
I get a URI::InvalidURIError
URI::InvalidURIError -> the scheme postgres does not accept registry part: localdbuser:123456 (or bad hostname?)
The fact that the error only quotes the password up as far as the # character makes me think that this char is triggering the error. Is there some way I can escape it so it doesn't choke?
I am also having this issue. For me I have a password with an @ in it. What is the proper way to escape such passwords?
This S.O. do the trick http://stackoverflow.com/a/22978703/2116850
Use %40 instead of @ and %23 for #
