Calling `websocket.Dial()` with a password that contains special characters returns ErrAuthFailed

[mikeder]

Using the url.Url.String() method causes URL encoding on the url, specifically the path field, which is problematic for passwords that contain special characters.

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/url"
)

func main() {
	u := url.URL{Scheme: "ws", Host: "127.0.0.1", Path: "$ecretP4ssword!#"}
	fmt.Println(u.String()) // ws://127.0.0.1/$ecretP4ssword%21%23
}
