Sujitha Chinnathambi created HTTPCLIENT-1811:
------------------------------------------------

             Summary: Security : Authorization header should not be printed in  debug log
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1811
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1811
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (async)
            Reporter: Sujitha Chinnathambi
         Attachments: httpclient.patch

Current behaviour : When https call is made with basic authentication  with  debug mode, authorization information which is transfered part of 'Authorization' header is getting printed in log in below artifact

  <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
  <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
  <version>4.3.6</version>

Example : 
org.apache.http.wire - []  >> "Authorization: Basic VEVTVCBLSCAwMS9TQ0hVTFVORzpzY2h1bHVuZw==[\r][\n]"

org.apache.http.headers - [] >> Authorization: Basic VEVTVCBLSCAwMS9TQ0hVTFVORzpzY2h1bHVuZw==

Expected behaiour: 
Though log level is debug, authorization information should not be  printed in log.

Attached httpclient.patch as proposal.
