Ah, and the URI syntax is schema://username:password@host:port/...
So there is a confusion in '@' signs. I will add escaping with
backslashes for :@/\ It is even worse, currently the username
is detected as [^:@./]*
I expect that you can use username, password, server_name,
and server_port as seperate parameters as temporary work-around.
