[jira] Commented: (MNG-4147) very long passwords cause
LightweightHTTP wagon to line-wrap the Base64-encoded Authorization header
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=174490#action_174490 ]
John Casey commented on MNG-4147:
---------------------------------
We should move to the httpclient-based http wagon to avoid problems in Sun's HTTPURLConnection code.

> I'll cross-file (and link) this issue into wagon, but Sun's HTTPURLConnection implementation uses a line-wrapping Base64 implementation. When passwords are very long, this causes an invalid HTTP request, since the Authorization header's value is line-wrapped.
