Heroku and mongoHQ: Connection failed

I have the following environment variable on Heroku :

MONGOHQ_URL: mongodb://heroku:password%40mongohq%2Estaff%2Ecom:10056/app6186345

Originally the error was :

Database name cannot contain '.'

I escaped '.' and '@'and I still have the same result, a connection failed but with the message :

[Error: failed to connect to [heroku:27017]]

What am I doing wrong?

When I checked the documentation about mongoHQ, nothing is said about escaping caracters or something equivalent.

It looks like you may have reversed the subdomain and domain name for mongohq on accident.

It should be @staff.mongohq.com instead of @mongohq.staff.com
