Hello,

I am facing an issue while bounding app to a service instance. The service
instance points to a database which has a '@' (at symbol) in its password
(example : abc(a)def). When I bind this service instance to an existing app,
the app throws up the following error when trying to access the data.

*OUT java.net.UnknownHostException: null: unknown error*
*at java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(Native Method).*

The sample URI in the env formed was "mysql://username:abc(a)def@
1.1.1.1:3306/dbname", as you can see the password was having a '@'
character in it. I believe how it works is it parses the URI as
*drivername://username:password(a)hostname:port/dbname* and in this case as
the password contains @ it is unable to parse the hostname correctly. Let
me know if I am missing something and also if there is any way to solve
this issue.

Thanks,
Rakesh
