bug: parseConnectionString

[booo]

The parseConnectionString function does not work for connection strings containing for example ? as char. This is because we use url.parse()

  parseConnectionString: function(str) {
    var result = url.parse(str);
    result.host = result.hostname;
    result.database = result.pathname ? result.pathname.slice(1) : null;
    var auth = (result.auth || ':').split(':');
    result.user = auth[0];
    result.password = auth[1];
    return result;
  }

Could I get an example of a broken connection string? Perhaps a gist or pull request w/ a failing test? I think I know what you're saying but don't want to suggest a fix until I can see what connection string is causing you grief.

But I think this is a problem in node and we filled an other ticket. Sorry for disturbing you.

Closing issue as it's related to node
