Special Characters in Passwords

Author	Message
c.e.perry	Posted: Apr 29, 2009 Score: 0 Some of my users are having trouble logging into Toodledo via the API when their passwords contain special characters like #, $, !, or +. Is there a trick to transmitting these special characters in the 'getUserid' method? Is there a limitation in the API that doesn't apply to the web version of Toodledo as to which characters you can use? If not, should I percent-escape or not percent-escape them? Any help is appreciated.
