sails-mysql username cannot accept special characters

Sails version: 1.0.2
Node version: 8.11.2
NPM version: 5.6.0
DB adapter name: sails-mysql
DB adapter version: 1.0.0
Operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.5
======================================================

I am deploying the sailsjs code to a production environment where the username has a special character. For example, user@sitename

`mysql://user@site1:myPassWord@localhost:3306/awesomedbname`

If we have "@" for the username, the site1 becomes the host.

Any fix for this?

Start with the sails-mysql connection handling and reproduce the issue using the MySQL URL shown in the report, with @ in the username. Trace how the URL identifies the username and host; done means the complete username is preserved and site1 is not treated as the host.
