Echolink passwords with the "@" character do not work.

Open ai6yr opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

If you have an EchoLink password with the "@" character encoded, even if valid (working in EchoLink Windows and qtel), svxlink will always return "invalid PASSWORD". How to replicate: change your password to "@test12345" or similar and attempt to load svxlink.

@kk6fut, It sounds very strange that the @ sign is the culprit. I'd rather suspect the usage of lower case letters. I think the Echolink passwords are always upper case. A difference I can see is that Qtel always upper case the passwords but SvxLink Server does not.

It's been awhile since I filed this, but the password (without the @ symbol) was working. But, I have not verified it since.

Ok, that's strange indeed. Maybe it would have worked if written as @TEST12345 since SvxLink Server is missing the upper case. I cannot see any other difference between Qtel and SvxLink Server. They use the same code to communicate to the Echolink server but the way to read configuration differs.
