AW: AW: tsneterr: (6) could not resolve host - can anyone else test this?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

FYI. I have used the "#" sign in a URL PW, which is not allowed in a URL
string, as Charles pointed out. Only because of an incorrect handling in the
curl library as part of tsnet, my program has worked over the years.
Urlencode(myPW) will do it for the future. So, better never use "#" in a
URL!

Panos from LC solved the mystery. In my URL the password has a special
character, which can't be handled in 8.1.2 and 8.1.3 on Windows. When doing
urlencode(myPW), it also works in 8.1.3 The why is not known Tiemo

I have not been able to replicate this issue here, but I am using an older
version of Windows.

Is there anyone that can try this on various versions of Windows to see if
this problem is specific to Win 10?

Try typing the following into the message box:

put URL
"http://test_auth:test_pass@downloads.techstrategies.com.au/test_auth/"

If it is successful, you should see "Authentication successful." appear in
the message box.

Thanks,

Charles
