mqtt does not url decode username or password (IDFGH-14444) (IDFGH-14446)

[0xFEEDC0DE64]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

yes, our customers have mqtt servers with usernames and passwords containing spaces, @ and other special characters.

Telling them to correctly urlencode the parameters didnt help.

We only expose one single mqtt connection url and not the individual username and password fields.

Describe the solution you'd like.

The mqtt library should urldecode automatically if the username and passwords are taken from the url

Describe alternatives you've considered.

@0xFEEDC0DE64 could you add more details on it? Also this is an issue on esp-mqtt right?

[0xFEEDC0DE64]

@0xFEEDC0DE64 I moved the issue.

Could you add more details on use case, failures that are preventing, if possible some test cases and the broker version so if we decide to implement the feature we can test it?
