      The Ruby driver MongoClient.from_uri does not currently support URI encoded characters in passwords (and other URI components, I imagine). This makes it a bit difficult to connect via URI when there's an '@' in a password 

      c = Mongo::MongoClient.from_uri('mongodb://foo:b%40r@localhost/admin')
c.database_names # or anything else requiring auth...

# => Mongo::AuthenticationError: Failed to authenticate user 'foo' on db 'admin'

      It looks like the bug is in Mongo::URIParser:

      auth = Mongo::URIParser.new('mongodb://foo:b%40r@localhost/admin').auths.first
auth[:password]

# => 'b%20r'

      Compared to creating the auth directly:

      auth = Mongo::MongoClient.new.add_auth('admin', 'foo', 'b@r', nil)
auth[:password]

# => 'b@r'

      This does appear to be a common problem with many other drivers as well:
