startForging API call error - PW w/ special characters

[Former user]

When I issue the start forging command in 0.8.3 e.g.:

https://192.168.2.22:7876/nxt?requestType=startForging&secretPhrase=my_p@55w0rd

I get:

{"errorCode":5,"errorDescription":"Unknown account"}

Whereas unlocking the same account in the web ui works just fine. I suspect the error depends on special characters in the password, as unlocking the "test" account via the same api call is working.

You need to URL-encode anything that contains special characters. This is not a bug.
