Re: Special characters in password for mod_dbd

[Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This seems to be mysql APR driver specific.

For some reasons, in APR, in function dbd_mysql_open(), fields are split 
according to delimiters in:
    static const char *const delims = " \r\n\t;|,";

See Remarks about MySQL at:
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr-util/1.6/group___a_p_r___util___d_b_d.html#gabddb1fdcb2f8a5f5b83127485c78e8ae


According to the code, there is no way to avoid the "incorrect" split of 
the DBDParams parameter.
I guess that your best option is to modify the password.
