Passwords containing a '@' make applications to fail

[chanmix51]

When the password contains the @ character, the application fails with the message

Could not parse DSN « pgsql://user:p@ss@host:port/db_name »

It is annoying since passwords can be chosen by admin team.

well, that's because the URL is invalid here. You need to url-encode the @ for it to be valid.

[chanmix51]

This means the DSN has to be URL decoded prior to be parsed.

[stof]

not if you parse it with parse_url. It is the one handling things

[stof]

And URL-decoding the whole DSN would not work either, as you would end up decoding pgsql://user:p@ss@host:port/db_name again, which has the same issue. You should decode only each component after identifying them in case you parse the URI yourselves
