    Hello there,
    thank you for your work.

    I am using the default AngularJS $http service in order to generate an auth cookie for user authentication. Here is my $http service:

    $http({
method: 'POST',
url: api_url + 'auth/generate_auth_cookie/?nonce=' + data.nonce + '&username=' + username + '&password=' + password
}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {});

    This is working perfectly. My very important issue is the following one. When the password contains the # character, I am always receiving an invalid username/password combination message. Is it something in my end? Please note that this is happening only with this specific character in any position of the password.

    I really appreciate your help.

    Thanks again
    George

    Hi George,

    This is so because everything is discarded after the hash sign in url.

    You should encode the # sign and replace it with %23. Your password var will become from password=c00l#pa55w0rd to password=c00l%23pa55w0rd

    Hope that helps,

    Hi,

    I checked the password with hash myself and it worked fine with %23. I thought there was no issue at plugin level and nothing was required.

    Anyway, you can close when confirmed.

    Hello Ali,
    thank you for your answer. I really appreciate that and you are absolutely right.

    I just changed my service to the following one and it is working properly:

    $http({
method: 'POST',
url: api_url + 'auth/generate_auth_cookie/?nonce=' + data.nonce + '&username=' + encodeURIComponent(username) + '&password=' + encodeURIComponent(password)
}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {});

    Thanks again
    George
