just to add... below are snippets from RFC 2396 : -
Data characters that are allowed in a URI but do not have a reserved
purpose are called unreserved. These include upper and lower case
letters, decimal digits, and a limited set of punctuation marks and
symbols.
unreserved = alphanum | mark
mark = "-" | "_" | "." | "!" | "~" | "*" | "'" | "(" | ")"
delims = "<" | ">" | "#" | "%" | <">
they are disallowed within the URI syntax. The character "#" is excluded
because it is used to delimit a URI from a fragment identifier in URI
references (Section 4).
The URI syntax is dependent upon the scheme.
3.2.2. Server-based Naming Authority
URL schemes that involve the direct use of an IP-based protocol to a
specified server on the Internet use a common syntax for the server
component of the URI's scheme-specific data:
<userinfo>@<host>:<port>
where <userinfo> may consist of a user name and, optionally, scheme-
specific information about how to gain authorization to access the
server. The parts "<userinfo>@" and ":<port>" may be omitted.
server = [ [ userinfo "@" ] hostport ]
The user information, if present, is followed by a commercial at-sign
"@".
userinfo = *( unreserved | escaped |
";" | ":" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," )
does sip uri fall in Server-based Naming scheme ? in that case does this
mean, I can have "*" as part of the sip uri but not "#" ?

can username part of uri contain "*#"
Hi,
Is it syntactically correct to have *# in the username part of the uri?
In Rfc 2806, "*" & "#" are defined as DTMF-digits & it appears that we can
have tel:*#123 etc. in tel uri's. but what about sip uri's of the form
sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone
here the username part will be a phone number. So can we have "*" & "#" in
the username part of the sip uri of the above format ?
You can also refer the relevant Rfc
Regards,
Divya
