ECPG connect by URL doesn't work

According to this documentation

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/ecpg-connect.html

it should work to connect in ECPG like this:

EXEC SQL CONNECT TO tcp:postgresql://bell.credativ.de:5432/pei AS myconn USER pei IDENTIFIED BY 'geheim';

(Or perhaps with single quotes, but that doesn't make a difference.)

However, in the server logs I just see this:

FATAL: database "'tcp:postgresql://bell.credativ.de:5432/pei'" does not exist

So apparently this URL parsing needs work.
