dsn: percent-decode username and password - #1812
team-humaki wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
ParseDSN still splits user:password on the first colon, so an unencoded colon in the username is treated as the password separator. Percent-decode the two fields after that split so user%3Aname:pass works, and encode ':', '@', '/' and '%' in FormatDSN so Config round-trips. Fixes go-sql-driver#1747
WalkthroughThe change adds percent-encoding and decoding for DSN usernames and passwords, documents username colon encoding, adds parsing and round-trip tests, and adds Team Humaki LLC to the AUTHORS list. ChangesDSN credential handling

Document percent-encoding for literal percent signs in DSN passwords.
ParseDSN applies url.PathUnescape to password userinfo. Therefore, p%3Ass becomes p:ss. A literal % must be encoded as %25; for example, write p%3Ass as p%253Ass. Alternatively, recommend Config.FormatDSN. The statement that password escaping is not necessary is too broad.

ParseDSN splits
user:passwordon the first:, so a username that contains a colon is treated as the password separator (#1747).This keeps that split (passwords with colons still work unescaped) and percent-decodes the two fields afterwards.
user%3Aname:pass@protocol(address)/dbnamenow yields useruser:name. FormatDSN encodes:,@,/, and%in the userinfo so a Config with those characters round-trips. Invalid%sequences are left as-is.NewConfig/NewConnectorremains the way to set credentials without going through the DSN string.Fixes #1747
