1.6.2.x - Fixes for Special Characters in Register String?

In the Register String in sip.conf with special characters in the secret field; what is the proper way of set it up

register=4015551212@abc.com:thisisthe/secret+==:123457890@66.77.88.99/4015551212

The config works in 1.6.1.14, 1.4.21 but not 1.6.2.x; I saw the bug report about this; but can not find the information on how to set it up properly.

Please advice, thanks.

Found a way to setup the register string with ‘/’; just in case, any one is having the same problem.

Put " around the secret string fix it -

register=4015551212@abc.com:“thisisthe/secret+==”:123457890@66.77.88.99/4015551212
