Kafka config sasl.password with special characters treated improperly

[alexandriainfantino]

To replicate:

• create a kafka instance with a secret containing special chars like below example

      
      config_hash = {
         ........
        "sasl.username": credentials.user,
        "sasl.password": "somePasswordWithSpecialChars@_:>[$()#="
      }

• attempt to produce a message using library producer

handler = producer.produce(topic: topic, payload: payload)
handler.wait

What happens:

• message being produced times out

What's expected:

• message is produced

Work around:

• use a password without special chars

Rdkafka version: 0.13

Can you try 0.15.0?

@alexandriainfantino also can you run this your code in a debug mode and provide the logs?
