This patch fixes an issue where screenshot API call was failing when the esx/vcenter password contains special characters such as apostrophee. The reason for failures was that passwords were escaped for XML and stored in esxVI_Context which was then passed to raw CURL API calls where the password must be passed in original form to authenticate successfully. So this patch addresses this by storing original passwords in the esxVI_Context struct and escape only for esxVI_Login call.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
