query string isn't url encoded

[rvisintine]

So after banging my head against the wall for a couple hours I finally figured out why I couldn't get my code to auth. It looks like the library does not pass the query string through as urlencoded. So when my password of password123!@# goes through it breaks. If I urlencode my password before passing it through then there is no problem, or if I change the password to just be numbers/letters than no problem.

Here is a var dump showing what happens in each case.

Without urlencoding

string(117) "https://api.viddler.com/api/v2/viddler.users.auth.php?key=myApiKey&user=me&password=password123!@#"

Array(
  [error] => Array(
    [code] => 100
    [description] => not found
    [details] => me
  )
)

With urlencoding

string(121) "https://api.viddler.com/api/v2/viddler.users.auth.php?key=myApiKey&user=me&password=password123!%40%23"

Array(
  [auth] => Array(
    [sessionid] => 3273d413fc17d707d52564953494e54494e45310
  )
)
