Unquote Username and Password

[geoffjukes]

Apologies for brevity, I’m on my cell.

I have a bunch or URLs that contain usernames and passwords. All “special” characters have been URL Encoded (“quoted”, to use urllib’s term). But when using url_to_fs, any URL’s with encoded characters fail.

I think there’s a simple fix. If you wrap these two in urllib’s “unquote”.

filesystem_spec/fsspec/utils.py

Line 108 in 8463a6a

options["username"] = parsed_path.username

filesystem_spec/fsspec/utils.py

Line 108 in 8463a6a

options["username"] = parsed_path.username

If that’s not possible, I’ll implement a simplified equivalent of url_to_fs. Just figured I’d ask first :)

Would you mind showing an example of how such a URL looks?
You may be totally right that unquote is warranted for the username.
