Until now I didn't found out how to solve the issue excepting
changing
the password;)
In case I find the solution I will make a pull request.
Kind regards

Hi,
Curl has some issues with passwords containing special
characters
like the hash key (#).
The password will not be accepted although it is correctly
set with the method setAuthencication("user", "pass1234#");
I know this is more a Curl issue than a DLang issue but it
is very frustrating and for unexperienced users very hard to
find out why the application is working for some users
and for some others not...
Could the documentation for setAuthentication could be
enhanced?
Kind regards
André
Sure. You can make a pull request. The documentation in
question is here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/net/curl.d#L1809
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/blob/master/std/net/curl.d#L2411
Alternatively, you can suggest a text here, and I or some else
will submit one.
The suggestion to make a pull request wasn't to provide a
work-around for the undesired behavior, but rather to add a
comment noting what the the behavior was (as a warning for
users). If this is a limitation of curl, there likely isn't
anything D can do about it.
