Seems impossible to add ACL with password that contains an apostrophe

[Kadigan]

Describe the bug Attempting to add an ACL that specifies a password with a single apostrophe is met with failure. No matter how I attempt to escape it, it seems to be filtered out of the output in a nonstandard way (so \' becomes \, \\\' becomes \\\ and so on - not the expected behaviour).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to use a password with a single apostrophe (like abc'123)

Expected behavior I expected there to be some way of escaping the apostrophe.

Operating system (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 10.12.6
• Bash Version: bundled with OS

Additional context N/A

For now I opted to simply add a second FTP account (with a different password, which does resolve the issue for me in this instance), but this will probably bite someone who can't get a second account and can't change the password.

Can't you just do "abc'123" ?

I did not try that in getssl ACL as you describe - this is just generally how I would do that in bash

Hi @Kadigan

Thanks for reporting this. I know there's an issue with quoting somewhere as occasionally the tests fail because of a carriage return in the token returned from letsencrypt.

I'll see if I can work out how to fix this.

No, you cannot. Trust me, I tried. :D
