I'm using an email address for HTTP Basic auth username.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't active resource handle this url encoding?
class ARModel < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://email%40domain.com:asdf@localhost:3000" end
The literal string 'http://email%40domain.com' gets passed to rails and authorization subsequently fails.
Generally, wouldn't it be smart for Active Resource to support url encoding?
Firefox and safari handle this fine.
