SUMMARY

Auth to Jenkins fails when password has special characters.
Example: server = Jenkins(instance_endpoint, username="testuser", password="zzzzzz6@Y74(K.xxxxxxx", timeout=10)

EXPECTED RESULTS

Authentication works regardless of special charters or a way to pass base64 encoded auth to work around.

ACTUAL RESULTS

401 is thrown
"
Failed request at https://jenkins-endpointapi/python with params: {'tree': 'jobs[name,color,url]'} jobs[name,color,url]
Failed to auth
Failed to log into instance with error 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://jenkins-endpoint/api/python?tree=jobs%5Bname%2Ccolor%2Curl%5D
