Description:
If fill wrong email/password into the error message below will be shown:

The email address / password combination could not be found in the
system. from:
https://enterprise.mysql.com/rest/merlin.php&command=validate_customer&email=foo@bar.baz&p...

This error message contains invalid URL: https://enterprise.mysql.com/rest/merlin.php&command=... instead of https://enterprise.mysql.com/rest/merlin.php?command=...

Anyway this URL wouldn't work if paste it into location field of web browser and change '&' to '?'

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Remove confusing URL from the error message or generate valid URL and add note user should not paste this URL into location string of the web browser.

Fixed in latest code by clarifying the error message to not create a confusing URL, but rather to specify the POST URL and the POST Arguments

Verified fixed within 1.2.0.6550, now get a UI generated error anyway it seems.

'Unable to connect to verify credentials' within first time setup

'Your credentials do not appear to be valid.' within global settings page

Added to the changelog for version 1.2 and also to the body of the documentation.
