 Description   

When using the driver to connect with "mongodb://[username:password@]..." there appear to be some constraints on what characters can be present in the username and password. I had some punctuation (excluding ":", but including a period, and parens in the username password and the connect failed. The start failed on Heroku at:

this.auth = decodeURIComponent(auth);
