Cannot authenticate with API if password contains colon (:) #9

After some debugging I found I could not login to the Movebank API because my password contained a colon. Would be good if this is documented.

Thanks @peterdesmet !

The colon (":") should be the only prohibited character. This character causes problems because it is used in the request header to define and separate the username and the password.

We will add this to the documentation in our next update.
