I have a python script and when I try to connect to an elasticsearch cluster that is using shield and the user's password contains special characters I am unable to connect.
python script is unable to connect to es cluster due to problems parsing the special characters.
connection string is https://test:%23passw0rd%23@myhost:9200
I've tried using it with and without quote_plus from urllib but have been unable to connect.
without urllib.quote_plus I get the following error:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
with urlib.quote_plus I get a connection error:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/elasticsearch/connection/http_urllib3.py:54: UserWarning: Connecting to myhost using SSL with verify_certs=False is insecure.
'Connecting to %s using SSL with verify_certs=False is insecure.' % host)
