Can redis authentication be used with the queueserver?

[canismarko]

I was playing around with my redis configuration and trying to add authentication.

According to the redis-py docks, URLs with authentication details are accepted into from_url():
https://redis.readthedocs.io/en/stable/connections.html#redis.Redis.from_url

However, if I try to provide <username>:<password>@<host>:6379 as the redis_addr, the queueserver complains that the "Redis address is incorrectly formatted" since the check looks at the number of ':' characters in the addr.

Any way to work around this, or else maybe the ':' check could be a bit more sophisticated?

@canismarko Thank you for reporting the issue. I will modify the Redis address validation code to allow the address with authentication information.

I believe this PR should resolve the issue: #338

I think that should do nicely, thanks @dmgav. Best I can tell that should also work with authentication if the rediss:// protocol is used instead of the default redis://. I think that's the right behavior!
