cookie breaks with UID with email

[elfeto]

Hi,

I am using python here, whenever I create the cookie with the userid (UID) with the email it breaks, it works fine with other strings but with the @ it replaces it with %40 and makes the cookie invalid.

Is there a workaround or something?

This is my python code:
from paste.auth import auth_tkt
ticket = auth_tkt.AuthTicket('TOP SECRET!', userid='[email protected]', ip='0.0.0.0', user_data="[email protected]")
print ticket.cookie()

Error log:
TKT valid_ticket: (parsed) uid 'felipe.torres.cs%40gmail.com', tokens '', user_data 'test', ts '1474047351', ...
mod_auth_tkt.c(820): TKT ticket_digest: using secret 'TOP SECRET!', ip '0.0.0.0', ...
