[Ekiga-list] Non-alphanumeric passwords do not appear to work

[Caleb Marcus <caleb marcus gmail com>]

When I signed up for ekiga.net, I used a password with symbols in it, and wasn't able to connect using the Ekiga client. I just got the message "Registration failed: forbidden" in the statusbar. I tried creating a new account, port-forwarding, etc. but nothing worked. Then, I changed my password to something without any symbols, and was able to connect. At this point, I had two accounts, and I tried changing the old one to an alphanumeric password as well... and it worked. The biggest problem is not that Ekiga doesn't support passwords with symbols, it's that ekiga.net lets you assign a password with a symbol to your account.
