Search Caches: Does not work with special characters in login or password

[Jan Hudec]

Hello All,

I have special characters in my geocaching username and password. When I set
them to Search Caches service, they are not accepted and when I go back to
the settings, they come back URL-encoded.

That would be OK (the values are shown internally by locfiy AFICT), but it
seems they are incorrectly converted (doubly-encoded maybe?) for sending to
geocaching.com. I believe it should be possible to test by sending any login
needlessly encoded (using the %-sequence for letters that don't need
encoding) and verifying that it can still log in.

Specifically, my username is 'Žárovka', which comes back as
'%c5%bd%c3%a1rovka' and my password contains '@' and ':', which come back as
'%40' and '%3a' respectively, which is correct url-encoding of these
variables. However, search caches fails to login to geocaching in my name,
suggesting the values may not be properly url-decoded.
