[wput] problems with @ in ftp password

[Scid <scid@xs4all.nl>]

Hello,

I'm using wput version 0.4a-w32. I have an url in the following form:
ftp://username:password@ftp.address.com/somedir/

The password contains an @, so I get this warning:

"I noticed a second `@' in your URL. Use %40 (see RFC 2396#2.2;2.4.1)".

and indeed it doesn't seem to work, it stops at the "Logging in as username
..." prompt.

I replaced the @ in the password with %40 but then the login fails. Perhaps
the %40 is not translated into an @?

I also tried other combinations such as using %40 for the last @, but to no
avail. I can login fine using the same information using FTP and Telnet. Is
this a bug? (fixed in 0.4.1 perhaps?)

Ofcourse, thanks a lot for this excellent program (I use it in automated
setups).

Regards,
Dimitri
