URIError: URI malformed

[wizehood]

I'm getting following exception when using proxy (http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT) with special characters inside (containing password with percentage(%) for example etc).

Failed to open Puppeteer browser. URIError: URI malformed
    at decodeURIComponent (<anonymous>)
    at Url.parse (url.js:343:19)
    at Object.urlParse [as parse] (url.js:154:13)
    at parseUrl (\node_modules\proxy-chain\build\tools.js:74:32)
    at Object.anonymizeProxy (\node_modules\proxy-chain\build\anonymize_proxy.js:24:46)
    at Crawler.openBrowser (\src\puppeteer.js:42:42)

How can we fix this?
Cheers

Hello!

I changed a part of code and sended a Pull Request #102, if you wanna fix it in your side until the release, please open the file node_modules\proxy-chain\build\tools.js and do this:

1. On line 73, please replace _url2.default.parse to new URL.

If you have any questions or need more help, please let me know.

Kind regards,
André

Leaving the issue open until checked..

Hi, this will need some more checking, as the URL object does not correspond 1-1 to the old one (returned by url.parse()). I'll look into it.

@valekjo I already started on that, but didn't manage to finish it. Perhaps you could take it over? #103

Fixed in #103
