[Icecast-dev] URL authentication

The other thing noticed about this is the strange behavior of passwords
that may include non-alphanumeric characters such as !:,.<>/?`~@#$%^&
... Icecast doesn't seem to translate them right, and on the URL line,
as it calls http://username:password@server:port/mount

you can obviously tell that if the password containt any of the above
characters, authorization does not proceed. Is there a work around for
this other than eliminating the characters from being entered as a password?
