Bug in camera password handling

[The Eye]

So I gave my cameras the user "admin" and the password "Argus5+++".

I can say, because I can't use that password anyway.

When entering this password in the ZM monitor setup, the camera could not be connected. So editing the monitor and opening the form ("Source tab") revealed:

Code: Select all

rtsp://admin:Argu5   @<IP>/yaddayadda

Either a magic trick or URL encoding problems. Even when I manually entered the three '+++' instead of the spaces: no good.
So I have a different password now (and using rtmp:// instead of the smearing rtsp://), but I suspect someone might want to have a look at URL en/decoding in that part of ZM.

+ is a url command. %43 should work in the url.

Less a bug than a feature would be to have ZM translate special characters to the ASCII codes. I suspect that feature would be interesting to make work in all cases.
