Description:
------------
The Remote.php class in the PEAR installer does not urldecode parameters after it parses the URL.

This means that if a password contains the wrong characters, it will not work. For instance http://username:p@ssword@proxy.my.url.com will cause an error because the @ symbol in p@ssword will confuse it.  

You therefore need to urlencode the @ to %40, and after parse_url has seperated it in the code, urldecode it.

Cheerio,
