Yes, but encoded where? Before the curl/libcurl gets a chance to parse
it or when sending it to a proxy or back to user for display? FireFox
AFAICS correctly shows it as
  ftp://user:passwd-with-%40-in-it@host.foo/

in the address bar *after* the ftp-listing is retrieved.
But it always sends PASS mozilla_at_example.com for any ftp-url
and doesn't give a toss about my ftp-proxy settings. (?)
