Hello,

I have a valid Sun Online Account user name which is an email address.
The user name contains an @ [at] symbol and a period.

I am unable to download patches using pca, I get an "Authorization failed." 
error when running pca in verbose mode (-V).

Is there a simple way to escape the @ symbol and the period in the username?

I've tried backslah escaping, I've tried single & double quotes, I've tried URL 
encoding "%40", but still get the  "Authorization failed." error.
