JazzHub login error - handling of special characters


Iwan Winoto (323) | asked Jun 05 '13, 2:33 a.m.
I noticed when I log in to JazzHub, to view code, I get an error:
Error 500: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: "mi"
I reversed the escaped characters, and noticed they correspond to a special character I use in my password. It seems my password does not get handled properly.
I use the same password for jazz.net login without problem and I sometimes use the special character to try to secure my password as much as possible.
Can someone please fix the password handling in the hub.jazz.net UI so it doesn't complain about a valid password.
Cheers,

I apologize for the inconvenience.  Thank you for letting us know!  I've opened a work item to track the issue.

Can you clarify that you are able to successfully login to JazzHub?  It sounds like the issue occurs when you click on "Code." Is that right?
