and now

ok, i bet i know what the problem is here. the / is a stop character in UR syntax, as its a path seperatorL, used to seperate a path. I'm guessing you shoudl avoid / \ ; @ % and maybe , ? & and * in your passwords. ` ` ! # ^ ( ) - _ = + [ ] { } | ; < > should be safe. unless I"m forgetting something.

Hi this is the issue but there is a solution other than avoiding these characters URL Escaping
See http://www.december.com/html/spec/esccodes.html
So my example becomes
export http_proxy=http://<user>:%5C%2Falid@proxy.example.com:80 which works.
Thanks to all who assisted with this :)
