Hi all, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/130289, while this bug talks about proxy settings, I am having problems when using https repo links in sources.list which have a username or password with the @ character. Is it possible to escape the @ character in sources.list?

eg: deb https://user:xyz@123@host:port dists folder

APT takes 123@host as the host instead of just host and xyz as password instead of xyz@123.

Cheers,
Siva
