[BUG] error authenticating captive portal when password contains the British pound
I have come across a slightly obscure error.
When a user has the British pound symbol £ (ASCII 156 i believe) in their password, the captive portal crashes giving a python error (MOD_PYTHON ERROR)
The error code is:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 6: ordinal not in range(128)
(Note position 6 was where I used the £ sign in the password for testing)
