As is mentioned in MNG-5917, it > is not completely clear from the standards how these characters are supposed > to be handled, but on my system both wget and the Chrome web browser encode > the characters the same way as after my patch and are able to download files > from Nexus. > Since Artifactory was used in MNG-5917, I also tested against that, but in > contrast to Maven it was not able to decode the username and password > correctly, however it would be broken without the patch anyway. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
