[jira] [Created] (WAGON-540) Switch to modern-day encoding (UTF-8)
of auth credentials
Michael Osipov created WAGON-540:
------------------------------------
Summary: Switch to modern-day encoding (UTF-8) of auth credentials
Key: WAGON-540
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAGON-540
Project: Maven Wagon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wagon-http
Affects Versions: 3.2.0
Reporter: Michael Osipov
Assignee: Michael Osipov
Fix For: 3.2.1
These days people use non-ASCII encodings for usernames and password. While other auth schemes like NTLM or Kerberos use Unicode by default, Basic and Digest were restricted to ASCII or ISO-8859-1 for a long time. Major browsers (Chrome + FF) now have switched to UTF-8. We should do that too.
