Jenkins behind proxy - illegal character in proxy url

Question

I'm running Jenkins behind corporate proxy. My proxy password contains special characters something like 'P@ssw0rd'.

Getting below exception while building pipeline

 Started by user unknown or anonymous

I'm getting a positive response in validating proxy with test URL.

Any "special" character needs to be percent-escaped, particularly @, because that is the separator between the password and hostname portions of a URL.

My password contains '@' from logs i could see that jenkins converting @ into '%40'. I'm assuming jenkins not allowing any special characters in password. – Naveen May 10 '19 at 09:21

Try putting quotes around the password or use a \ ( backslash before the special characters.

This is a URL, not a shell. – womble May 10 '19 at 06:15
