special characters break password value and result in (401): Invalid username/password

[xo4n]

Hi a minor issue here: if the password includes a special character like '#' influx-cli will truncate the password and result in error
influx> list series
Server returned (401): Invalid username/password
influx>

for instance for this config in .influxrc
user = "root1"
pass = "root#root"

will result in this request

GET /db/metrics/series?u=root1&p=root HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Go 1.1 package http
Accept-Encoding: identity

when escaping the character it will return

influx-cli
Near line 4, key 'pass': Near line 4: Invalid escape character '#'. Only the following escape characters are allowed: \b, \t, \n, \f, \r, ", /, , and \uXXXX.

hi, just missed that the especial character in the config should be percent encoded (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding), so for # it should be %23
Then it works

it shouldn't be up to the user to do url encoding in the config.
you should be able to put your pass in the config the way it is, and influx-cli should do the url encoding when issuing the request.
would you be interested in patching this and filing a PR?
