[BasicAuth] with @ in username gives "error: Parsing json"

[humphd]

Given the following .hurl file:

POST http://localhost:8080/
[BasicAuth]
user1@email.com: password1

Running this produces the following error:

$ hurl --test tests/integration/auth.hurl
expr=tests/integration/auth.hurl
tests/integration/post-fragments.hurl: RUNNING [1/1]
error: Parsing json
  --> tests/integration/auth.hurl:7:2
   |
 7 | [BasicAuth]
   |  ^ json error
   |

Removing the @ works. This is surprising (to me). Is there someway to handle this case without having to produce the Authorization header manually? I really like the expressiveness of having the username/password in the test case, since it's part of the test.

Thanks @humphd for reporting this bug.
We will fix it in the 1.6.1 patch version by the end of the week.
