[SOLVED] How do I supply username/password to feed?

[guardian]

I am trying to use the Bambenek Consulting consulting feed defined by pfBlockerNG-devl. I supplied the username/password as provided by Banbenek, and the URL suggested looks like:
===group

https://user@example.com:-password@faf.bambenekconsulting.com/feeds/dga/c2-ipmasterlist-high.txt

If I paste this URL into a web browser, I get the desired download, but when I use it in pfBlockerNG-devel, I get an error.

[ pfB_PRI3_v4 - BBC_C2_v4 ] Download FAIL [ 08/9/21 02:15:41 ]
Firewall and/or IDS (Legacy mode only) are not blocking download.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the password beginning with a hyphen '-', or because the userid is an email address and the '@' in the email is confusing the parser since '@' is the delimiter https://user:password@domain.com/resource

Can anyone give me any ideas how to work around this issue?

EDIT: It turned out to be the '@'... Substituting %40 got things working:

https://user%40example.com:-password@faf.bambenekconsulting.com/feeds/dga/c2-ipmasterlist-high.txt
