First off love this tool, I've been using it for years and its saved my ass numerous times. Problem though, how do I escape my password in the proxy settings, it contains a !. This is using a windows domain account. I looked at this thread:

but the thread that it says to follow in the second post no longer exists.


Thanks.

Use qutation marks.

I placed the double quotes around the password and that threw and error parsing proxy URL. I then tried placing it around the entire proxy string and that also threw a error parsing proxy URL. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.

You've to use the ANSI escape sequence.

Not sure if I'm messing it up or doing it wrong but its still giving me the same error. Before the ! in my password I'm using ALT-27 and its still gives me the bad port error. In EDIT it shows as an <-, if i open it in notepad++ it shows up as ESC

ex:
proxy=http://username:passwo<-!rd@server:port
or
proxy=http://username:passwoESC!rd@server:port

Thanks again for the help
