Add parsing of special encoded chars in URL

Hi All, 

Please find attached patch to enable the use of encoded special characters
within a RTSP URL as per RFC1738 Section 2.2

Currently:

a) rtsp://admin:@dm:n@<IP-ADDR>:8554/stream Doesn't work (correct)

b) rtsp://admin:%40dm%3An@<IP-ADDR>:8554/stream Doesn't work (incorrect)


The patch allows b) to be parsed correctly and connect successfully when
special characters are used in the username/password.

e.g. 
    rtsp://admin:%40dm%3An@<IP-ADDR>:8554/stream

now results in:
    username: admin
    password: @dm:n

Hopefully everything is correct, but let me know if any changes may be
required!

Regards,
Stuart
