#82 |es|f| fails to handle ebay pwds with certain special chars

[Wäller Klaus]

esniper frontend Version 2.6.0 seems to not properly quote
certain special characters in ebay account passwords. When
trying to place a bid, using the follwing ebay account
password \"xtNa46r55///v$xqVE\" (except the double quotes) did
fail with the following report:
esniper version 2.25.0
libcurl/7.21.0 GnuTLS/2.8.6 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.15
Error encountered in function preBid in auction.c line 351
auction = 280720835150, price = 133, remain = 159360
latency = 0, result = -1, error = 11
buf = 0x8ba90c0, size = 12355, read = 0x8ba90c0
time = 1312829150, offset = 0
pagename = \"Review and confirm your bid\", pageid =
\"(null)\", srcid = \"(null)\"
specified options or config values:
1 x username(u) = ***
1 x password() = ***
2 x seconds(s) = 0
1 x (c) = \"/opt/esniper/local/data/.***/.c\"
1 x debug(d) = 0
1 x batch(b) = 1
cannot find bid key, uiid or password, found = 0

Using the same password containing the special characters
with the command line tool \"esniper -s now .....\" did work.

After changing the ebay account password to ommit the
special characters also bidding from the esniper frontend
worked.

I hope this will help to save someone\'s time when analysing
why bidding would fail.

Cheers,
